When God Doesn’t Heal
In times of suffering, loss, and hurt, remember that God will work all things for good in His children’s lives.
Proverbs 3:3-6

If God is all-powerful, why don’t more people experience miraculous healings? There are several reasons for this. Sometimes we do not ask Him. Other times, we might ask but with wrong motives or a lack of faith. And then there is the reason that we do not like to hear: God may choose not to heal.

Consider Paul, who asked the Lord three times to remove his “thorn” (2 Cor. 12:7-8). Yet it remained. We can learn from the apostle’s response—he did not question God’s authority, nor did he complain. Instead, recognizing that divine strength would show through his weakness, Paul trusted God.

We, too, can trust that our Father will work all things for good in His children’s lives (Rom. 8:28). In fact, character growth usually occurs in times of suffering, loss, or hurt. While adversity is uncomfortable, we can feel hope and even joy in what God is accomplishing through our painful experiences.

Ultimately, our Father brings glory to Himself and good to His children. There are instances when this involves miraculous healing, but He often refines us by allowing the hardship. As with silver and gold, our hearts are refined and purified in the fiery furnace of struggles. But thankfully, we can trust in God’s plan and rest in His love.

Help for Our Healing
In sickness, we should trust God—even when the path is difficult.
James 5:13-20

God cares about our physical well-being. After all, He created our body to be a temple for His Spirit.

Ungodly choices can lead to illness (John 5:14). So when we’re afflicted, it’s wise to ask God to search our heart and reveal anything He wants us to address (Ps. 139:23-24). Most of the time, though, health problems are simply part of our human condition—a symptom of mankind’s fallen state rather than evidence of personal sin. The truth is, disease and sickness affect just about everyone at some point. So what response does God desire from us?

Our heavenly Father wants us to be aware of His presence and to stay in communication with Him (1 Thess. 5:17), leaning on Him as we receive medical treatment. Developing a pattern of prayerfulness is the best way to prepare for the unexpected.

God’s Word also calls us to intercede for one another. Its instructions include calling the elders of the church to pray and anoint the afflicted person with oil in Jesus’ name (James 5:14).

Our Father is able to heal, but He sometimes allows the condition to remain. When requesting restored health, we should ask with faith in God’s ability and confidence in His perfect will.

In Times of Weakness
When temptation comes, run to God for strength to make the right choice.
Judges 16:1-31

Unless weaknesses are addressed, they have potential to cause trouble in our life. Vulnerabilities can either drive us closer to God or blind us to His love, as two Old Testament stories demonstrate.

Joseph and Samson faced similar temptations but responded differently. Day after day, Potiphar’s wife tried to entice Joseph, yet he rejected her advances (Gen. 39:7-9). He endured hardship for his choice, but in the end, God’s servant received immeasurable blessings. Samson, on the other hand, willingly gave in to Delilah (Judg. 16:15-17) and experienced something very different.

Samson had been consecrated to God, and the Holy Spirit was moving in his life (Judges 13:24-25). Nevertheless, he chose the path of self-indulgence. Because Samson rationalized his weakness, it soon began to dominate his life. He exchanged God’s blessing and supernatural strength for earthly pleasures.

When we face temptation, we can respond as Joseph did, or we can pursue a course similar to Samson’s. The choice is up to us. In times of weakness, it is essential for us to depend on God, obey Him, and seek the strength to make good decisions—ones that honor God and draw us closer to Him.

Uncontrolled Weakness
Our flaws can wreck our life or drive us into a deeper, more intimate relationship with the Lord.
Judges 14:1-20

The book of Judges tells of Samson, a man so powerful he could kill a lion with his bare hands (14:5-6). He possessed physical strength unequaled by any human being. But this could not compensate for an inner weakness.

All of us have such areas of fallibility. God wants these imperfections to teach us how dependent we are upon Him. Addressing them according to the Lord’s wisdom and guidance will drive us into a deeper, more intimate relationship with Him.

Samson’s issue was lust. Although he was raised by devout parents and had a clear calling in life, he gave in to his desires. Despite Nazirite laws, Samson pursued first one Philistine woman (v. 2) and later another, named Delilah (Judges 16:4). Even though Delilah’s motives were blatantly treacherous, he gave himself over—heart, mind, and spirit—to her and sinned.

Before he died, Samson lost everything: his strength, eyesight, and honor. The man who once led his country mightily became a slave to his enemies until God empowered him one final time (Judges 16:25-30).

A proclivity for a certain sin can ruin our life—or it can drive us to utter dependence on God. What a blessing to know He will always help us when we rely on Him for guidance.

How to Walk With God
Through the cross of Christ, God invited us into relationship with Him.
Genesis 5:21-24

Enoch had such a close walk with the Lord that Scripture says, “God took him” (Gen. 5:24). This means that Enoch did not die but was taken directly into the presence of the Lord. As we seek to follow God with passion like Enoch’s, here are some steps that will help us grow:

Reconciliation. This term essentially means “God moving toward us.” Through the cross of Christ, God has already made His move in our direction. (See 2 Cor. 5:18.) When we place our faith in the Savior, we immediately take part in that reconciliation.

Trusting God. Our heavenly Father wants us to know He is concerned with our spiritual growth and, through Jesus, has provided the way for us to walk closely with Him.

Agreement. To appreciate the relationship God wants to have with us, we must agree with what His Word teaches.

Fellowship. Just as our human relationships fall apart without regular contact, our intimacy with the Father is harder to experience if we do not spend time with Him.

Walking with God requires careful attention to the details of our Christian life. When we set our course for God, He will always be there to direct our path (Prov. 16:9).

Here's a FREE eBook download related to fasting from Pastor Shane Idleman who we feature on Your QFM. If you're curious about learning more about it and how it can help connect you to the Lord in 2026, go get it!

Through fasting, the body becomes a servant instead of a master. When Jesus directs us to do something, the outcome is always beneficial, both spiritually and physically. He said, “when you fast” (Matthew 6:16). Scripture doesn’t say, “When you sin and if you fast,” but rather, “If you s...

What Fasting Adds to Prayer
Fasting combined with prayer can be helpful when seeking God's guidance and protection.
Matthew 6:16-21

Jesus’ words about fasting are an invitation to a deeper experience with God. Fasting benefits us in many ways:

Cleansing from sin. When we let our spiritual guard down, we start thinking incorrectly. Through such lapses, ungodly attitudes and habits can quietly take up residence in us, and we hardly notice. They impede our fellowship with God, limit the effectiveness of our service, and erode our joy. Fasting helps us give God our undivided attention as He addresses whatever is hindering our spiritual growth. (See Rom. 12:2.)

Guidance. God wants His children to understand and follow His directions. A combination of prayer and fasting helps us develop both the mind needed to hear what He’s saying and the spirit ready to accept His instructions.

Protection. Through fasting, we gain insight into God’s ways and receive help in identifying unhealthy or dangerous situations. As we submit to His authority and confess our need for protection, the Holy Spirit will give us discernment to make wiser decisions and avoid unnecessary risks.

Fasting coupled with prayer will bring greater spiritual awareness and more intimate communion with the Lord. It can certainly be challenging, but the benefits are worth it.
