♕ Today's Promise: "When Jesus heard, he said: It is not those who are doing well who need a doctor, but the sick." Matthew 9:12

Hello my darlings,
God is the most beautiful and wonderful thing that has happened to me in my life. Every day he helps me discover more about Him and the love and comfort He gives me is unmatched.
As you already know, the best doctor in the world is our Beloved. He is always by our side and strives to meet our every need. In December of last year I asked for his help with a dental problem that made me very uncomfortable and when I prayed about it, He guided me to a functioning clinic as a foundation where He not only made sure the prices were affordable for my pocket but provided a believing doctor. The Lord is so wonderful that the treatment was successful and I know it was He who made it possible.
On the other hand, my mother had pain due to her blood circulation problems and very worried she told me that she would seek a doctor to treat her. A few days ago we had visited the doctor who had been treating her for over 10 years and who was my classmate, but out of shame she didn't mention anything about this particular illness. My best friend, who was also with me at school, is a pharmacist and my mother asked her for her opinion on her situation in order to have a specialist.
After listening to her, I immediately told her that she had to pray first and that if the Lord wanted a doctor to treat her, He Himself would put the doctor on the road without having to look for him. Otherwise, the Lord Himself would take care of her healing. The next day, almost crying, my mom called me to tell me that my best friend had met the doctor at the supermarket and told him about the situation, so the doctor asked her to send her pictures of the affected areas and that he himself would send her a natural remedy or as the case may be, send her to a specialist.
See how the Lord listens to our prayers and takes care of everything in a second? I have heard from several people that going to the doctor is not appropriate. However, what I have learned that it is not correct to go and look without first asking God to guide us. Therefore if His will is to heal us, He will do it but if His will is that we see a doctor then He Himself will be in charge of coordinating it without us doing anything else.
Let us always remember that He is waiting for us to ask for help with everything in our life, big or small, easy or difficult to solve. We should always run to Him first and wait for His confirmation.
