Matthew 21: 22 And all things, whatsoever you shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive.
This is not to say that folks should utterly dispense with the advances made in medicine. We shouldn’t. But if in the treatment of chronic pain, persons find themselves crossing that threshold point where the mind is being affected too adversely, then it may be time to go have a talk with God.
The way in which God usually works with those who trust in Him, is that He requires that wherever it is possible, all God-ordained products, way and means at our disposal be exhausted first, and then, if we hit a brick wall, we ask for Divine intervention as per His will.
But this requires that we not limit Him to only finite ideas and concepts, because God has a thousand different ways at His disposal to solve the very same problem. The results that accompany prayer are often tied to our capacity to believe and receive and thus, a good perspective is to cultivate a no-limit, or open-ended approach when it comes to believing in what God can do.
Isaiah 55: 8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
