"Heal thee of thy plagues"
Any disease - this is a test of faith, and the patient should be guided by three rules of faith:
1) to understand what the Lord has made him sick, but not to explain the disease to natural causes, their mistakes or something else;
2) know that it is to the eternal good and thank the Lord;
3) to understand their actions and look for what sin sent disease, and then repent of it. Only after the people repented, he can turn to God in prayer for healing.
Some serious illnesses, deliver us from them the Lord sends down for lack of faith, as it is written: "The basis of all - it is faith, and everyone should check themselves and mature in the faith. After all, there is incredible suffering from ailments, undergoing various diseases only because of the loss of faith, according to what has been said: "The Lord rained down blows on you ... blows powerful and loyal and sickness, evil and true" - that is "true" that occur due to loss of faith because the loss of faith causes such ailments from which drugs do not help either, nor prayer nor merit fathers "
We see that a lack of faith - is the greatest sin, more than any other sins and vices! That it entails the most severe punishment - painful intractable disease. Only repentance and serious work on their faith can help heal. Therefore, in such severe cases, prayer and repentance should relate primarily to a lack of faith.This, then is the purpose of the book - to teach the people of Israel this wonderful ability: to live in gratitude!
