 You were so wise because no answer to a request to be physically healed has meant yes to a deeper faith in you. Oh, Lord Jesus, it's meant yes to a deeper prayer life. Yes to a greater understanding of your word. It has purged sin from my life, forced me to depend on your grace, increased my compassion for others who hurt. It has put complaining behind me and stretched my hope and given me a lively, buoyant life.
