it’s never been the faith of the sick that’s gotten someone healed. it’s always been the person praying for the one in need of healing. they are the ones with the need for the faith. jesus when he healed had faith that whatever he said would occur. same with peter. he had faith in jesus and healed the blind man.
often times, people pray just to pray without the faith to create the object of their desired goal.
praying in faith is when prayers are answered. it’s as if you are swimming down stream. however, on the other hand praying without faith is like swimming against a rip current. dang near impossible and 9 times out of 10, you don’t survive it.
same deal here.
if someone want’s to pray for me, you are more than welcome but you had best have faith. otherwise, you might as well not pray at all.
