“I sincerely believe in Jesus but I have a ton of serious issues. I have OCD and pervasive anxiety disorder, I’m a recovering drug addict and a sex addict who struggles with this every single day and not always successfully. I’ve been prayed for a gazillion times but nothing much seems to change. If God is truly all-powerful why the hell doesn’t he just heal me?”

Hello Diane,
Thank you being vulnerable in sharing your painful experience. You are right, it is unfair, and it’s so hard to live in the reality of all the variables that Greg describes in this video. Perhaps Greg’s suggestion from this video can help you take all that unfairness and pain and the unknowns and come to Jesus as you are to experience his love and to know your unsurpassable worth. We do offer lay counseling and prayer sessions as possible resources if you want to look into either of those. Praying for God’s comfort for you.
