"To pray for a bodily cure and nothing more is a limited and limiting procedure. Pray also to be enlightened as to why this sickness fell upon you..." - Paul Brunton
Most of the persons with disability want a cure. But only wanting a cure is not the solution. It is like the FOMC - reducing interest rates in present situation. It is a quick fix to the symptom and not fixing the problem.
God has given us a body with disability ? We want it to be "normal". With our prayers may be, we can be cured. But, then are we fulfilling the purpose of our life that GOD as set for us ?
Also GOD gives us guidance in response to our prayers. But do we listen to HIM ?
J. Donald Walters says "Most people when they pray, talk to God rather than with Him. they don't take the time to listen, in deep inner silence, for His answer ..."
Even in our prayers we are pushing our story. We have no time to listen to anybody even - GOD. And then we wonder why our prayers are not answered. We blame all and sundry for unanswered prayers without accepting our impatience.
GOD will answer our prayers, only if we take time and effort to listen to the guidance. GOD speaks to us as a small voice in our heart.
"Be still, and know that I am God" - Psalms 46:10
