the most prayed for hands in the universe
When it comes time to pray for people to get well there is one meaningful prayer that seems to be always uttered...
"Guide the doctor's hands."
With so many prayers for the doctor's hands you have to believe that they are the nicest looking hands on the planet. Doctor's also must be excellent drivers and fooseball players. Interestingly enough however, they are notoriously poor at writing with those same guided hands.
Now don't get me wrong - I totally believe that God has given us science and physicians to bring healing. For this I thank God. For this reason I utilize medical means to get well and encourage everyone to do the same. I pop a pill and at the same time send up a prayer for healing from God.
I guess I may be a bit tired of praying for God to guide hands and want to start asking for God to just heal. What if I put as much trust in God as the great physician as my doctor? I pray that God would grow my faith in His faithfulness.

Just stuff I'm thinking about. Step off Jimmy.
Was someone perhaps praying for Jesus' hands when he created some mud from spit and dirt, and gave a blind man sight by placing the mud on his eyes? Why didn't Jesus just "command" the man to see? Why didn't Jesus command Peter's mother-in-law to "be well" instead of physically touching her with His hands? I think you're on to something Deurty. The hands have it, hands down. This will definitely give you a leg up.
I definately believe in healing however it happens. Think some broken hearts need healing along with broken bodies.
