Many believers expect immediate healing because Scripture shows God healing people, yet the New Testament never promises universal, instant cures for every illness. The Gospels record numerous miracles but also show that Jesus did not, and could not, personally meet and heal every sick person, and on occasion he delayed healing so a greater purpose would be revealed.

A second reason lies in the Bible’s emphasis on God’s sovereignty and inscrutable purposes. Scripture gives examples where suffering remains despite prayer, and interprets some afflictions as opportunities for God’s glory to be displayed or for spiritual growth, not simply as problems to be removed.

Third, the New Testament models faithful endurance alongside petitions for relief; Paul’s “thorn in the flesh” is an explicit case where repeated prayer did not result in removal, and God answered instead with sustaining grace, making weakness a stage for divine strength.

Fourth, the relationship between miracles and ordinary means matters: many theological traditions hold that God can and does work through medical care, human compassion, and long processes of healing, so the absence of an immediate miracle does not mean absence of divine care or purpose.

Finally, Christian hope reframes unanswered prayers for healing within an eternal perspective: ultimate healing and the end of suffering are promised in the consummation of God’s kingdom, and the proper response among believers is persistent prayer, wise medicine, and compassionate presence to the suffering now rather than simplistic judgments about faith or worthiness.
