Why Doesn't God Heal Everybody?

Jesus is a miracle worker. He worked incredible “signs and wonders” during his 33 years on earth, and he continues to stun us with modern miracles to this day. He has healed physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. But if he has shown us that he can do this… why hasn’t he healed everyone?

If you’ve asked God “why haven’t you healed me,” Fr. Mike has a video for you today.

35 years ago I was diagnosed with an inoperable, malignant brain tumor. 7 mostly emergency surgeries, over 2+ years just to keep me alive… bad time. Best thing that ever happened to me. God’s timing was/is perfect. The tumor one day, with no medical intervention, intercession from Blessed Mother, and the tumor went away. 35 years, 10 kids (fostered and/or adopted) later… I’ll repeat, God’s timing was perfect.
I Wouldn’t wish it on anyone, but for me, that tumor changed many peoples lives.

True. As someone who is potentially suffering from small bowel cancer, just had it removed last week, I have to trust God and Jesus will take care of me. As much as I would love it to be in this world, I would pick His world anytime. Both is preferred of course. I also had suffered an accident while I was a young adult, preventing me from ever working. While God may not have seen fit to heal my injury, he did ensure I was taken care of otherwise. As bad as I am, and God knows I am so far from perfect, I will always have faith in God and Jesus.

Stay close to God and you will find peace even amidst pains and illness 🙂

This priest is a blessing. May God keep him close through the Holy Spirit.

I needed to hear this message! My daughter passed away in 2006 from a rare form of cancer. I was told that maybe I didn’t pray hard enough. That hit me like a ton of bricks. My husband was told this happened to her because we weren’t good Christian’s. I’m so grateful to Father Mike for posting this, God bless!

You spoke to my mind, my heart and my soul. I truly believe that God calls us home when it’s the optimum time for our soul. I volunteered in the pediatric unit of our local hospital. I was sitting in the ICU at the bedside of a toddler who had just undergone open-heart surgery. Her parents needed a break for a cup of coffee. Concurrently, there was a 15-year old girl in the same room who had sustained multiple injuries in a motor vehicle accident. The nurses were changing shifts and giving report. The 15-year old had remained stable for the last 12 hours. I remember saying a prayer, “Heavenly Father, please heal her.” Not 5 minutes went by and this young girl started to crash. I remember crying out in my mind, Lord NO! And, I could hear His response in my heart, “It’s better that I bring her home now than to have her not make it home at all.” So, I remain trusting in God that if we live 1 day, 1 year, 25, 50, 75 or 100 years, it is but a mere dot on the timeline of eternity. Jesus I trust in you.

My mother passed this year due to cancer. She was going through so much pain and suffering and she chose to trust God Through it. I’m so grateful to have witnessed that level of love faith.

Been chronically ill for near a decade. I wish I were healed... My son too.

[barbaradazier]

Thank you for this video. I have had 4 friends and a cousin die in 3 months. I prayed for them to be healed but I have come to realize that their healing was in their deaths. They are now healed completely and you can’t get better than that. They are with Jesus.

My teenager says "Father Mike is the gentle parent version of priests." 🤣 I agree, always gentle even when the truth can be difficult to accept.

I needed to hear why Jesus heals & then the illness may return again. I just lost my son who passed on May 14 of 2023. It was a Mother's Day. Both my son & I are very close to our Jesus. We were prayer-partners & we prayed for my son's healing daily. He suffered from a mental illness. Jesus came to him in a dream & told him he would be dying soon. He shared the dream with me & we talked about it. My son only asked for His love & mercy. He died about two weeks after his dream & it was a sudden & quick death. I still do not understand it. I'm going through bereavement sessions with good Catholic leaders & a deacon at my church to be able to cope with life after my son's death. He was a young man & most kind hearted. I love him & miss him so very much.

I have asked the Lord to heal me for so many years, but He has chosen not to. I feel like it is as Paul experienced my " thorn in the flesh". The Lord has said His grace is sufficient for me. I also feel He is glorified in it. The demons look and say " even in her suffering, yet she trusts, clings and longs for Him !" He is glorified as we persevere in Him, and a crown awaits. On my bad days I feel it hinders me from having the fullest life I can, and the enemy tells me " see ! that doesn't honor Him ! can only trust His mercy.

I have been sick for years something has kept me strong is knowing I can offer up my suffering to Jesus for the salvation of souls. After I consecrated myself to Mother Mary, I just offer up my sufferings to Jesus through Mary for mother Mary intentions. I ask her to purify my suffering and than offer it up.

Jesus healed us 2000 years ago. By his stripes we were healed. It is finished he said. Anything he was going to give us he has given us. It's now up to us to believe and receive. Praise God.

Praying for healing for all who are sick. 🙏🙌🏼💕 We Believe.

Thanks Fr Mike. I've recently had to deal with a serious injury from a fall. All those thoughts that went through my mind about God, and my response to this injury, were enlightening. I then asked God to use my injury and pain for the good of my family members who are in need. That became my response. God Bless. Claire.
