the way we pray

Faith, the great divide. 
I strongly suspect the foremost major concentration of all prayer attempts are for healing. Prayers are offered up in assembly trying to talk God into healing them,  or someone else. In these prayers they spend an inordinate amount of time and emotional effort telling God what He already knows. Seldom mentioned are any promises or covenants God, who cannot change His mind, has already made. Their entire emphasis is on God, what He can do, so why doesn't He do it? 

Since there are so many accounts dealing with how Jesus related to healing, one would think there would be more concern about His methods of thought than there are. I also hear the word "just" jumping around, in and out. It sounds like they want to say only but I am not sure what is intended by so many "justs" . In any event, it sounds a little wimpy to me, and definitely does not seem destined to take heaven by force. 

The most often impression left with me after healing entreaties is that the great physician does it all. After all, He is in control. But a quick review reveals a little more to it than that. 
See Manna after this date.
