Why does god need to be petitioned by people saying prayers to heal people?
God is not healing because he was petitioned. God is helping and providing for those who have faith. If you have faith, then praying is not a request for help, it's more a daily communication. So God isn't so much answering pleas as he is giving back to those who have dedicated their lives to Him.
Does this mean that god only heals those who have enough people who like and pray for them?
No. God only heals those who dedicate their lives to Him.
Can't god tell when a person deserves healing?
Yes. But bad stuff happens because of man's free will. God heals those who use that free will to dedicate their lives to Him... that's the measure of "deserving".
Why does god need to be asked to heal people?
He doesn't. It just looks like this on the surface if you don't understand the proper procedure of dedicating your life to God.
