God bless all those here with health problems, but I think God is far more interested in your after life than how long we can live on earth.
We get what we need, not what we want and the healings are nice and all, but heaven is the goal, not earth.

Hymn: “It is well with my soul”

We sang this in church today, along with the story of the writer of the song.

The man, Horatio Spafford, was a wealthy man in Chicago. They lost their only son at the age of four. Shortly afterwards, all of his vast real estate holdings were burned up in the Great Chicago fire. So he said to heck with America, and put his family (wife and four daughters) on a ship back to England while he stayed back to wrap up his affairs.

He received a telegram from his wife, something like “Alone, survived”. His four daughters had been lost in the shipwreck.

When he returned to England he penned the words to the song as they passed near the site of the wreck. Amazing attitude and words of faith. I would also like to believe that God would also hear me as I wavered and questioned and yelled at him under such a terrible trial.

“When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well with my soul.

Refrain:
It is well (it is well),
with my soul (with my soul),
It is well, it is well with my soul.”

God doesn’t have a head injury that causes brutal pain 24/7.

If it’s a test, I wish he would have given a written!!

The life after this is all that matters but nerve ending dont know that.
