I so agree with this Randy! We both know God heals in many ways but some deep wounds require those with much training to help us. I too look back and wonder how many times God had to step into my ignorance and protect the other person. I have been in EMDR therapy with a professional for the last several months and it has done more to help with my trauma than my previous efforts for relief. In my case, God, thru this therapy, gently revealed the deep issues that needed to be healed AND revealed more about myself than I even knew. It's not limiting the power of prayer at all. I see it as surrendering to His ways of healing, which include those with the knowledge to handle it.
