I have struggled with chronic lyme disease for years and over the last few months have been hit with other common illnesses one after another, and even a corneal abrasion, which screwed up my already dysfunctional sleep schedule. I've been missing a lot of school and now am having trouble doing all the homework and catching up.
My mother believes this is an attack against me, perhaps as a result of some sin I've committed, and that I should seek immediate prayer. However, my opinions, as a result of studying the Bible, are quite different from the Churches she attends (mostly Pentecostal), so I do not feel comfortable having these people praying over me. Also, I've concluded, if God wanted me to be healed, he would have done it years ago. God allowed Satan to afflict Job, who had done nothing wrong and also sent a thorn (a messenger of Satan), to buffet Paul. Perhaps he is doing the same with me to strengthen me (it has and is) or for a reason I can't understand. What do you think?
