Sorry about your arm ...

A plea to "deliver me from evil" is not a request for instructions as to how you could deliver yourself from evil ( common sense ) , or how to get along with evil - it is a cry of "Please get me out of this ! send lawyers, guns and money ! "

Prayer for someone's recovery may not be answered at all, but I certainly would not expect God to answer it with " go take him to a doctor. "

As I said earlier, a no is always the potential answer.

I certainly would not expect God to answer it with " go take him to a doctor. "

If you find that answer yourself, you credit your parents, as do I. If you were born without the capacity to learn from your parents' instructions or had totally clueless parents... you sure are "lucky" that is not the case.
