It's a natural human tendency to magnify some of the dilemmas we all face as human beings, thinking some problems harder for God than others. When we realize that our biggest problem is absolutely child’s play for God to solve, it is easier to have faith. And of course, most of us realize that it is within God’s power to heal even the most seemingly monstrous physical infirmity we could ever deal with. The question is not so much can He but will He heal: Does He want to? The problem is not the problem but rather our knowledge of God’s will, and not only our knowledge but our exercising of faith that comes from revelation. This is perhaps what Paul recognized when He prays for the Ephesians: “That the Father would grant the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your heart being enlightened that you might know the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power, which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and might and dominion … Ephesians 1:17-21

 
As we get older in him, we could also have doubt or fear because we did things we shouldnt
have after being born again, and we think he won't heal us because we made a mistake. We should look in ourselves and see if we have doubt or fear and ask forgiveness for it.
