Brad,

I'm learning that it's not a question of whether or not God will heal; It is 
only a question of when.  If you could see the big picture, as God does, it 
probably wouldn't matter to you as much.  If we are not healed in this life, 
we definately will be healed in the next.  In order for the blind man to be 
healed, he had to be blind first.  If he had not been blind in the first 
place, no one would see the miracle.  I have a friend, whom I think is one 
of those word-of-faith believers.  When I told her that I had experienced 
depression, she said that Christians should never be depressed.  I haven't 
given her a response to this.  Now that I think about it, since I'm learning 
how I can depend on god to keep me from falling, and the day may come in 
this life when I will no longer doubt my salvation, I can have a taste of 
the abundant life that Jesus spoke of, even though my bodily chemistry can 
get out of whack and affect me emotionally.  Someday that discomfort will 
all be over!
