The biggest problems occur, I think, when we try to manifest beyond our beliefs...in such cases, I think we do that to try to prove that the law doesn't work, or to sabotage ourselves, or perhaps we're masochistic.
Now, I'm not talking about deliberating learning to stretch beyond our boundaries...I'm referring more to people who insist on principle, rather than practice. Those people who insist on avoiding medical treatment for their children because their children "should" be able to heal themselves by prayer alone. I think it's wiser to face reality -- look it square in the face and work from there. And if prayer alone isn't working, then it may not be the best time to insist on prayer alone. |
That is a very important point. It also reminds me of an old joke.
A man lives in a house in a valley. It starts to rain heavily. He turns on the radio and hears a weather warning that people must evacuate the valley immediately. But he refuses to leave, saying, "God will protect me."
His neighbours drive past his house and they say, "Come along in our car, we need to leave the valley now." But he refuses to leave, saying, "God will protect me." Meanwhile the flood starts to rise.
Later the flood gets really bad and his furniture starts floating around. A police boat comes along and the policeman says, "Hurry, we need to get you out of this place." But he refuses to leave, saying, "God will protect me." The policeman is unable to persuade him.
Later the flood gets so bad that the man is forced to climb onto his roof. A rescue helicopter comes along to rescue him, but once again the man refuses to leave, saying "God will protect me."
He drowns. He goes to Heaven and asks, "God, why didn't You protect me?"
God sighs and replies, "I sent a radio message, your neighbours, a police boat and a rescue helicopter - and you still wouldn't leave. I ran out of further ideas to save you."

If your children are sick, your intention is probably for them to be cured. That is why the universe has manifested doctors, hospitals and medicines into your reality. Please do the sensible thing.
