Shownotes Transcript

Do you have true faith--meaning you are okay if you or your loved ones aren't healed? If not, listen as I share a personal story of how I worked toward that ideal.

Episode Discussion Points

  • The question of “Do I have the faith not to be healed?”
  • A story in my life where I realized that I didn’t have that kind of faith yet when Nathan was diagnosed with autism.
  • How I realized I needed to change and have more true faith in God.
  • The “But if Not” clause & story
  • My very trial led me to my knees over and over again because I didn’t have the ability to get through such a heavy trial on my own. I needed God.

How to Develop Faith “Not to Be Healed”

  • Recognize you need better, truer faith

  • Work to gain that kind of faith

  • By talking to the Lord openly and honestly in prayer (that you aren’t there yet)

  • Following the example of the Savior to submit your will to His

  • Ask God to teach you what this process of gaining true faith looks like for you

  • Listen

  • Keep going one day at a time

  • Fortify yourself by reading God’s word—especially the life of Jesus Christ.

  • Remember to keep hope in the ultimate goal of eternal life with God with perfect, whole and resurrected bodies for us and our loved ones.
