Perhaps you haven't seen it, personally...
Anyway, with regard to the issue, the Bible tells us explicitly to help ourselves. But
part of that is we are to be prayed for and pray for ourselves. The people who refuse to see a doctor and rely only on prayer are those called fools in the Bible. This is not to say that God will not heal. BUT, God does things on His own time, in His own way - so, we are to pray hard and accept what God gives us.
Believe me, a Christian with incurable, painful cancer is much better off with God than suffering on earth. It is ALWAYS better to be with God than to be on earth!
