Faith healing: why does god need to asked to heal people?

Why does god need to be petitioned by people saying prayers to heal people?It seems odd to me that a god would only heal people when they are prayed for.Does this mean that god only heals those who have enough people who like and pray for them?Can't god tell when a person deserves healing?It seems to me that there are millions of people around the world who could be healed and yet this does not happen.Why does god need to be asked to heal people?Faith and Belief, please.Edited by Larni, : improving op

I presume this is a spin-off of the Murder by prayer: When is enough, enough? topic.I think you need to state your position in message 1. I also think you need to get the word "prayer" into the topic title.My impression is that the true theme you're shooting at is "The purpose of prayer". You might consider revamping message 1 towards that theme.Adminnemooseus

I've had another go, Moose.
