To the suffering person’s pain we can add guilt: ‘Haven’t you prayed? Don’t you have faith that God will heal you? We can add self-doubt: ‘Is there something God may be punishing you for? Have you confessed your anger and bitterness about this problem? Are you praising the Lord anyhow?’ We can add confusion: ‘What is God trying to tell you? Or simply natural providence? Or has God specially selected you as an example to others? …I have interviewed enough suffering people to know that the pain caused by this kind of response can exceed the pain of the illness itself. – Philip Yancey
