Do you want to get well?

Jesus asked the lame person "Do you want to get well?" before He healed him.

well.. do you want to get well?

Sometimes we benefit from keeping ourselves stuck.
We let ourselves be ok with where we are.
We don't allow ourselves or change or move forward.

Sometimes we get so used to our pain and feel like if we WANT to get well, it will be scary because being well is unknown. It's a fear of not knowing or being afraid of what wellness would mean.

There is also a reflection of this that refers to how we pray.
Are you praying for things to get better, but not letting it happen?

He won't be able to bless you if you are putting up a wall.
You can pray as much as you want, but if the bricks are still in place, you're not allowing blessings to happen.
