Questions
Does God still heal today?
Yes. Scripture affirms that God's character never changes (Hebrews 13:8). He is the same God who healed in the Bible, and countless people testify to miraculous healing today. Prayer invites His sovereign will to move.
What if I pray and don't see healing right away?
God's timing is not always our timing. Continue to pray in faith, seek medical care, and trust His purposes. Sometimes healing is gradual; sometimes it comes in eternity. His peace can sustain you through the waiting.
