Healing, part II

A funny game, this healing thing.
Pray for healing - it may or may not happen.
If it happens, give thanks and praise...
If not, well, God has bigger plans.
The thorn in the side - it's up to God - He can take it away, or leave it in us.
Does God like to hear the cries of pain and anguish and suffering that come from His injured, bruised, damaged and dying children?
Does He expect us to understand, and accept our pain stoically?
Are we expected to be big and grown up about "all this"?
We all go through pain, we all die - it's not fair, just, balanced or rational...
And we are designed also not to give up, take it lying down, and cease our struggles.
The cycle continues - Hope, Pain, Suffering, Prayer, Death, Faith...
And somewhere in a mysterious and huge cloud, lie the answers to the questions...
