Good health
It is amazing how people go to church asking for God to heal them from many lifestyle related disease like diabetes, high blood, high cholesterol etc and their subsequent cardiovascular problems.
For instance diabetes may be genetically related but its expression is lifestyle related. The degree to which your propensity to express these genes are dependent on your diet and exercise.
It is futile to keep telling some of them that they are already healed 2000 year ago though it is biblically correct. More often than not, they won't be healed coz though God can perform miracles but He wants us to address the root problems. How to expect God to heal you from lifestyle related disease if you still eat like a pig, smoke like a chimney and drink like a fish.
I do a lot of running and hashing with many friends. So far none of them have complained of lifestyle related ailments.
