2Ki 5:12-14, 12 Are not Abana and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean?” …14 So he went down and dipped himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the word of the man of God, and his flesh was restored …
Elisha demonstrates how healing is more than getting prayed for. He instructs Naaman to go and wash 7 times in the dirty river Jordan and be healed. While Naaman protested and suggested other rivers, his healing was not in any river, it was tied to his obedience in believing.
His victory was not in the miracle, the miracle was a confirmation. Signs and wonders follow those who believe, and victory is in the faith you have in God to heal. Praying is rooted in faith in a person not a place. Heb 11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is…” who He says He is and will do what He says He will do that is when victory lies.

Very profound
Praise be to God
Help us Lord to be steadfast and true in your will. Increase our faith, cleanse us from all unrighteousness, help us to lean on you alone, and guide us in the way we should go.
Amen, we know this truth but still struggle to live it
