Praying for healing is incredibly vulnerable, because the risk is incredibly high. What if you pray the prayer, and it just doesn't work? What if God does *not* heal? The discomfort of physical sickness, the despair and the pain it causes, this makes us long for just the physical healing. But healing is required just as much for our hearts, which grow sick from sin, anger, depression, and a loss of hope. We need to ask Jesus to heal us *completely.*
