I never remember being as sick as I have been this last week since I was a child with measles.  Due to infections, and contracting a possible virus on top of them, the resulting dehydration and wash out of potassium from my system, I have experienced an ongoing vertigo that has put me in bed for days.  Yesterday, I finally didn't have much vertigo, but I was weak - yet I was able to sit up and stay sitting up for a while.  Sudden motion doesn't affect me as much and I am able to eat.  What blesses me most is that the reason I seem to be getting better, is that when I prayed, "Lord, I accept your healing, in whatever way you determine to send it," I landed in the ER, and was getting better thanks to fluids and medications a few hours later.  It is sometimes God's provision to give us help from wiser sources than we.  I am genuinely thankful for that wisdom from other people.
It should be an ongoing attitude to receive the wisdom from almost anyone God will place in our path, in answer to our prayer, and sometimes before we know we need their help. 
My husband who tends not to "get it" when I am sick, was incredibly supportive in cleaning up the mess I was making when sick. If God hears immediately when we call out amidst the storm of illness, he also hears when we call out amist the storm of finance as well. So now I pray, "Lord, provide for payment of the bills for those to whom You sent me, for the wisdom needed to help in my healing."  I confess a faith, and ask for help should I doubt for this provision.  God intends to bless, and I am accepting that blessing in whatever way he makes the way to provide. God is Good.
