GOD, please subtract from my physical ailments, not add. That has been my prayer--get rid of all my ailments. Please don't give me what I'm not praying for. I'm thinking, you take medicines to get rid of ailments. And they are eliminated one by one. If you have the flu, medicines get rid of headaches, runny nose, cough, and then fever gradually. Then you get well. If mere medicine can do that, GOD can do lots more.
But why is it, God, that ailments add in me. First, I had heart palpitations. I prayed that you heal it. You haven't. Then I had this some kind of muscle trauma. I prayed that you heal it. Well, thank you God, for taking out about 90 percent of it. But it sometimes gives me problems. Then I had stomach reflux. I prayed the you heal it. You haven't. Then I now have this weird discomfort in my right ear. It's like it has water in it--the same thing you have when you're going up Baguio and pressure goes into your ear and there's echo and difficulty with your hearing.
And that comes with slight dizziness at times plus pounding in your head when you go up stairs. What's this, God? Why don't you heal them all? Or, why don't you heal one before allowing the other to happen? I believe in your power, Lord. I believe you can easily get rid of all of them, and that has been my prayer in Jesus' Name. I do not abuse my health. I do not destroy the temple of the Holy Spirit. Please give me good health, so with my wife and kids. For your glory.
Please subtract ailments, not add. And please add blessings and prosperity, not subtract. Don't give things like this I never ask for in prayer. If people who abuse their health do not have these ailments bothering them, the more I shouldn't by your grace and mercy. If they do get sick due to how they abuse their health, it's only natural that they suffer that. They ask for it. I'm not asking that you punish them--if they suffer that, that's just the natural order of things. You abuse your health, you suffer for it.
I don't understand why this happens, when fact is, I'm a health buff, I exercise regularly, I watch what I eat, I never smoke, I never get drunk. On top of everything, I always pray to God for good health--and the same for my family and other people.
Age? Well, I believe God can make me healthier each day even with age. He did that with Moses. He can very easily keep me out of ailment with his awesome power. And he said in His Word that as long as I believe him, nothing will be impossible. So that's what I'm batting for. I ask and expect that, nothing less. because he is God, and he is my God and Father through Jesus Christ.
Anyway, I thank God for good health. And I thank God for being with me and my wife when one late night we were at the hospital to have her blood checked. Initially, she was found to have low WBC. I arrived home one night from the office finding her crying over it. I was so disheartened and embraced her. I love my wife so much--God gave her to me.
We prayed and decided to have a second check up. This time the result was all normal! Praise you GOD! Praise you for your grace and mercy! You are our God forever, our Father through Jesus our Lord. You heal and do miracles even to this day and age. You are wonderful and all powerful! That's why I believe you can eliminate all our ailments! In Jesus' Name! Amen!
At times, when I hate life because of this silly world and ask myself what kind of life is this--I just run to God and hide in his shadow, even if no answer is forthcoming and all I have are still questions. God's quiet but strong presence can comfort you, though your questions remain. But a little later, your questions won't matter anymore, until another bout with a new round of life's "Whys" come your way.
