She was healed a few years ago (I've only known her for a few months) by God. This was an 'instant' healing, not a process of slowly getting better (I don't think you even can get slowly better from what she had). She was dyslexic and also had another problem with the brain where she couldn't see green, big contrasts and straight lines properly and had a reading age of 8. She was then prayed for, healed, took her english GCSE and got an A in it.
That is a nice story and one I'm sure many Christians would cling to for dear life to try and "prove" their God. On a %-scale of answered prayers I would say it would be something like 0.0001%. What about the other millions starving or sick people(Christians) in the world. Why don't God answer those? Surely asking for health and peace is a worthy request? If Jesus was consistant with answering prayers (the way he promises he would in the Bible), why not help ALL people?
Or was this girl one of the few that actually asked for something worthy? Or did she have proper faith and the other millions not?
I will therefore remain sceptic
