I don't think that a persons relationship with god weighs in at all when it comes to whether or not healing will take affect. The pope is said to be the closest to the lord but I don't see that any pope has ever been spared the ills and diseases that plague mankind. We are human and all, including the animal kingdom, are subject to sickness and death, old age and suffering. If there were a compassionate being that cared we wouldn't be having to suffer. There are some really beautiful people in the world that go through agonizing pain and for what purpose, to know pleasure? There is no one on the planet that does not suffer in one way or another, mentally and physically. Perhaps you are right that those who have no other recourse in life, no money or assets to liquidate, must seek help from a higher power in the hope that a higher power actually exists. So far it looks like we are on our own.
