All who hate me whisper about me,
    imagining the worst.
8 “He has some fatal disease,” they say.
    “He will never get out of that bed!”
9 Even my best friend, the one I trusted completely,
    the one who shared my food, has turned against me.

10 Lord, have mercy on me.
    Make me well again, so I can pay them back!
11 I know you are pleased with me,
    for you have not let my enemies triumph over me.
12 You have preserved my life because I am innocent;
    you have brought me into your presence forever. Psalm 41:7-12

How does verse 10 rate for you as a reason to overcome sickness? Is it a legitimate reason? Do you think it is powerful enough? Do you think God honors this as a reason for healing?
