Later on in my life when I became a minister, still using my leg brace but now only a cane and not the crutches, people would write me letters and not sign them, saying if you had faith enough, God would heal you. Or there must be a hidden sin in your life, if you would just repent, God would heal you. How do they know about my faith and my relationship with God. I pray for that, but it is His will not mine. I also pray for the strength and courage to live each day as fully as I can.
