I feel that I’ve been selfish and maybe persumptuous for praying that God may heal me, thereby allowing me to forego dialysis. It seems that Jesus performed countless miracles during his time on Earth. I feel such acts were necessary back then to manifest his divinity and to show He was a healer of the body as well as of the soul. Through his miracles, people became believers in him. Of course, His death and resurrection were key to bringing about belief primarily! I’m not discounting Gods ability to perform miracles in modern times, yet it seems there are fewer performed today than during biblical times. Am I wrong here? Is it pointless to pose such a question that cannot be adequately answered? Is God neglecting me by not healing me of my disease? Is it pointless to pray for a miracle?
 
Hi blaskoman,

I’m sorry for what you’re going through. Yea, Jesus still performing miracles till today, and of course you can pray to be healed 🙂 Sometimes your will is not God’s will, so it’s not like God is not hearing your prayer. If you don’t feel well, you can ask for God’s help to give you the courage to go through it. But don’t lose hope, keep praying, and trust Him!

“13 No trial has come to you but what is human. God is faithful and will not let you be tried beyond your strength; but with the trial he will also provide a way out, so that you may be able to bear it.” (1 Corinthian 10:13)

You can also ask the intercession from saints, like Padre Pio, and even the Blessed Mother. I’ll pray for you! God bless!
 
God does still perform miracles, but the thing you have to understand is that most of the miracles God has performed have been to reveal spiritual truths, rather than accomplish a proximate good. The thing is, there’s not a lot of truth left for God to reveal that hasn’t already been revealed, hence there is less of a need for miracles.

The thing you have to understand is that, these days, science is a more widely practiced source of divine revelation, in that we come to more perfectly know God by seeking to more perfectly know His works. Prior to the establishment and large-scale acceptance of logical positivism, miracles may well have been more necessary for revelation. Now, however, miracles that violate the physically possible risk muddying the message unnecessarily, as they would call into question correct scientific theories.

If you are looking for miraculous healing in your own life, consider asking for the intercession of a person who has been beatified, but not yet canonized, as this is one way for God to reveal spiritual truth, and one of the more common source of verified miracles.

Excellent response!

I would also add to pray to St. Jude, and I will also pray for you!
 
There are tons of healing (both spiritual and physical) miracles being performed at divine retreats in Kerala, India. I wouldn’t be able to show you videos of hundreds of physical healing testimonies because none of them have English subtitles. I was encouraged to attend one in 2013, and it changed my view on Christianity. They were charismatically endowed priests who could see into your heart, and advised you on how you needed to change. The woman who was staying in the same room as me during the retreat was cured of sleep anea, and no longer had to wear her CPAP on the last two days. It’s not just miracles to reveal spiritual truth. God DOES intervene in your life personally, and grant you miracles. The gifts of Holy Spirit are real, and not something that was exclusive to the early church. So don’t feel weird/stupid in praying for a miracle. Pray your heart out while believing you will be cured.
 
Hi, OP, thanx for this thread!
I know at least two groups of people, not from N. America
who do not take medication, even for a cold.
One of them is Catholic, the other is a Pentecostal Christian
denomination. I have seen the miraculous healing of a woman
who was told by the doctors that she would never conceive
again, all because of PRAYER!
So dont lose hope, cause in God`s eyes, EVERY diseases has
a CURE!
