If God Can Heal, Why Doesn’t He ‘Always’ Do It? Find Out Why!

Healing is one of the most powerful and awe-inspiring acts attributed to God throughout Scripture. From the miraculous touch that made the blind see (John 9:1–12) to the hem of Jesus’ garment that cured a bleeding woman (Mark 5:25–34), the Bible is filled with moments that testify to God’s ability to heal. 

So the question that naturally arises in the hearts of many believers is: If God can heal, why doesn’t He always do it?

The answer is not simple—but it is deeply rooted in God’s sovereign will and eternal wisdom. As Isaiah 55:8-9 reminds us, “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways.”

Just like a designer carefully chooses the final cut of a garment, God determines the course of our lives not just for beauty in the moment, but for purpose in eternity. Healing is sometimes part of His plan—but sometimes, it isn’t.

Let’s be clear: God does still heal today. Countless testimonies—both ancient and modern—declare this truth. James 5:14-15 even gives us a direct instruction: “Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them… And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up.” Yet we also see faithful believers like the apostle Paul, who was not healed despite earnest prayer

In 2 Corinthians 12:7–9, Paul shares that he was given a “thorn in the flesh,” and even after pleading with God three times to remove it, the answer he received was, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.”

This tells us something profound: God sometimes withholds healing not out of cruelty or distance, but to display His grace in greater ways. It might be to shape our character, increase our dependence on Him, or to point others to the eternal hope beyond this life. After all, our ultimate healing is not physical but spiritual. Revelation 21:4 promises that in the life to come, “There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain.”

That is the future God has in store for His people.

So, while it is good and biblical to ask for healing, we also trust God’s answer—whether it’s yes, not yet, or no. His refusal is never rejection; it’s redirection. He may be preparing us for something greater than we can imagine. In every unanswered prayer for healing, there is a deeper call to trust in the One who heals the soul, not just the body.

This is how God invites us into something more enduring—faith refined in the fire, and love rooted not in circumstances—the unchanging heart of the Healer Himself.
