Lord, You sometimes heal instantly, miraculously. Sometimes You don't. You ALWAYS want to heal our hearts more than our bodies, though. Increase my faith, Lord, through this "testing of my faith" (James 1:3). Am I able to rise up above my circumstances and praise Your name, to experience Your joy and radiate Your peace despite sickness? I call myself a Christian, but these are the outward signs, "fruits" of that inward faith - that with each increasing trial, I'd respond with increased faith demonstrated by my peace and joy. How awesome to have the faith of Stephen, who glorified You with a radiant face while being stoned to death. Or to be like Peter and Paul who sang Your praises after being beaten for their faith! Help me, Lord, to know You like that and in turn to witness to my children what a great God You are!
