Why won't God cure my son of Leukemia? If he has the capability?

Question

There is no change in his condition...only getting worse. I have prayed daily and almost hourly and I have given double tithing at church. I have even given money out of desperation to Peter Popoff ministries for a cure. Where is God when I ask for him? Absolutely no response. Everyone tells me that he can do it if he wants. This is so damn cruel. Why make a child suffer? I've never been so let down and hurt in all my life. Where is God, where is Jesus!!!!!

Answer 1

this is where people tell you that god works in mysterious ways. I wouldn't say that because it would piss me off if i were in your place. I'm sorry about your son. I don't know what to tell you about god, but I hope your son gets better.

Answer 2

Where was God when Jesus was crying out in agony in the garden at Gethsemane? Where was God when Jesus was in pain from beatings and torture? Where was God when Jesus was being nailed through his very flesh to a beam of wood? There was no booming voice from the clouds. There was no apparent deliverance. This was his own son. Where was he? He was at his side crying every tear with him. He was stroking his head when he couldn't hold it up any longer. He was wiping away his sons tears even though his own tears were flowing heavily down his face. There are no words of comfort when a loved one is in pain and all we can do is watch. One of the hardest things a person can be asked to do is to accept God's will and "Let thy will be done". I am about in tears myself thinking about what you must be enduring right now. I don't know why God cures some and not others. The thing to remember although there is little comfort in it is that God does not always give us what we want but he will always give us what we need. Maybe God has already answered your prayers and it's not the answer that you are looking for. Maybe the answer lies with your son. Maybe he was only meant to be here for a little while and his loving father in heaven wants him back home. I don't think anyone can give you the right answer to this question. I am so sorry that you are going through this pain. I know that God is at your son's side comforting him. I know that God is helping to wipe away your tears. God Bless you both and your family. I pray that this very moment God works a miracle in the life of your son, but not my will but his be done.

Answer 3

You have my greatest sympathy and empathy. My mother died from a disease very similar to leukemia and my cousin died from leukemia even though I did pray for her.

No one knows why G-d does or does not do something. I have heard that G-d always answers all prayers, but sometimes the answer is no. This can be (in your case) impossible to accept. I think you should continue praying and giving charity - it cannot hurt and maybe it will help just to know that you are doing all you can for your son and at the same time helping others (your church).

I know it's cruel and it hurts to see your son suffer, but even in this situation, try to do positive things and try to be optimistic when you are with your son. Remember the will to live is a very powerful force - it's still possible to have hope and maybe a miracle will happen. I really hope so.

Answer 4

I wouldn't question God's ways. Your son having leukemia has nothing to do with God, its the awful truth but I'm sure God would never do that to anyone. My grandma has leukemia and I used to think like you do and then I realized how I should be worrying more about spending time with her while she's still living instead of dwelling on the fact that she isn't getting cured. I'm sure your son will be having chemo therapy? That will enable you to spend more time with him and keep him alive longer. God might have a reason for doing this. Just hang in there.

Answer 5

The Bible says His ways are higher than our ways and His thoughts higher than our thoughts.

I lost a 2 month old baby sister a few years ago because of Edward's syndrome. It still hurts to think about loosing her, even though I know she's in a better place. I don't know why God chose to give her that condition, but He did, and all I can do is know that He has a purpose which I can't see or understand yet.

I also lost a wonderful friend in a car accident just before Christmas. She was only 24. Again, I don't know why God let it happen, but He has a plan which we can't see.

Just trust in Him and He will give you strength and help you bear your burden.

Answer 6

I am so sorry your child is sick. And I have also been angry with God, and felt forsaken. I know it's hard to believe, and hard to accept, but sometimes God's answer to our prayers is "no". It's hard to understand God's way, and people will even tell you not to question his motives, but that's impossible. Especially when you see the one you love in such pain. Think of it this way, you cannot buy a cure for your son, so don't think about donating anymore money right now. When you pray, please don't stop praying, thank God for what he is going to do. (I thank you Lord for healing my son, I believe you will heal his body, mind, and spirit, and I thank you Lord) You have to believe and claim the healing for your son. I will say a prayer for your son, and for you. Just know in your heart that the way you feel is normal. I believe God even expects us to be angry with him at times. You need help dealing with this situation, if your pastor can't help you, find someone that can. You cannot go through this alone.

Answer 7

ur right.. a child shouldn't suffer. when i hear stuff about starvation, poverty, millions dying of HIV and AIDs, children who get kidnapped, it is very very VERY difficult to believe that God actually cares and is even paying attention to what's going on. the best thing i can tell u is that everything happens for a reason. I know it sounds cliche, but its the true. sometimes certain tragedies or triumphs leads to something better. i know that its not clear as to why this is happening, but have faith that God will make his Plans known and that u will come out stronger. I am terribly sorry for what's going on with ur son, and I will pray for both him and ur family.

Answer 8

I wish I had something from God to give you, but I do not. So I will say what I think.

You can send in prayer request to the world network of prayer at www.wnop.org.

Also try the 700 club.

OK, now the hard part. Can you trust God? or can you only trust God when things go as you think they should go?

Try to give this situation, this illness, your son into Gods care and control. Ask Him to do what He wants, and to help you accept what He decides.
(
I lost my sister 3 yrs ago, I thought she was going to get better because we miss understood a prophesy from God. I am trying to get my faith back to where it was).

Keep looking at Him, no matter what!

Answer 9

He may have bigger and better plans for your son. I don't even want to imagine the pain you feel because I have hurt (badly) for something not even close to what you are going through. If he is going to heal your son, then I'm sure he has a plan and no one knows who.what ,where,why,when or how. Just keep the faith because if you loose that you may have nothing left.

Answer 10

God has a reason. Maybe now, you dont know it yet but time will come and you can answer your question.There are more unfortunate people in the world.Remember the saying, better look down not look up.Because if you look up you just envy the others but if you look down you will realise you are luckier than others.But I hope for his recovery.Maybe, it' just a test.I offer prayer for your son.
