The following is a list of things that can hinder one’s healing by Dr. Henry Wright in his book, A More Excellent Way.   It is an interesting list and in the book, Dr. Wright writes his comments about each hindrance based on his years of experience and knowledge in praying for the sick.
It has been our personal experience over the years of doing personal prayer ministry that we, too, have found many of these same hindrances present when working with clients.  We list them here hoping to encourage you to get a copy of A More Excellent Way and use it for your own healing journey as well as being informed to help others in theirs.
Blessings,
Roger and Gerri
