Faith Brings Results

"Can s child be born to a man who is a hundred years old? Or can Sarah give birth at ninety?" (Gen 17; 17) "'Lord, if you wish, you can make me clean.' 'Volo mundare. I will do it. Be made clean.'" (Mt 8: 2).
Two astounding examples of faith overcoming the impossible.  Abraham questioned, laughed at the idea, and tried to suggest alternatives, but in the end, believed.  Isaac was born.  The leper didn't even ask, he just reminded Jesus that he had the power to cleanse him and Jesus responded immediately.
When we pray, particularly asking for healing, or for conversion for ourselves or others, do we really believe that God will do it?  Even in our doubting and quibbling, may we come to the point reached by by Abraham and turn what seems impossible over to God who so easily turns the impossible into the possible.
