Thank you! Your article was the little nudge I needed to work through a writing problem: a character who desperately needs to heal from past trauma. And it helps me rethink several events in my family while I was growing up. God bless you!

Do you think that God even allows physical afflictions sometimes to slow us down and allow him to heal us?

I do. In His permissive will, He wills certain things to happen to us that we consider "afflictions" in this life, but that He can and will turn to our greater good--if we let Him. Sometimes we need to slow down in order to hear Him and love Him more.

Thank you! Yes, that makes much sense!!!
