Do the promises of healing still apply ? I'm in horrendous pain in my feet and legs daily and in spite of my prayers and efforts to do good, it seems like I'm being punished. If Jesus said to be perfect like your father in heaven and to forgive others that have been abusive to us, wouldn't it be reasonable to believe that God would answer our prayers ? I've always thought that punishment was meant to alter behaviour, but if this physical torment I'm going through is with me till I die, then to me it's vengeance and I can only hope death comes sooner than later.
I prayed for you this morning when at the dentist having a tooth prepped for a crown. instead of focusing on the procedure and any discomfort I may feel, I focused on praying for those I know who have asked for prayer, like you. I knew that the time spent in the chair was short and your pain is ongoing, so I will continue to pray for you.
I am sorry to hear that you are going through so much pain. To answer your first question, there is no promise of physical healing. The only healing that we are promised is spiritual healing. Can God heal us from physical pain? Yes, of course He can. But there is no promise that He will always do so.
As for your second question asking if it is reasonable to believe that God would answer our prayers, not only is it reasonable to believe that God answers our prayers, but we can have complete confidence that God answers every single prayer that is asked according to His will. What I mean by this is that we sometimes petition God in prayer for something we want without asking for His will to be done in whatever it is we are asking for, whether it be a physical ailment or whatever the case may be.
On the flip side, we might pray for His will to be done in whatever we are asking for, and things may or may not get better. I speak from my own experience when I say that sometimes things may even get worse, but we have to accept the outcome even if it's not the outcome we expected. As brother Spencer has said, our physical bodies are temporary. We are not immune from pain and suffering. But we must trust the Lord even through the pain and hardships we go through.
As some here have prayed for your situation, I also will pray that the Lord will ease your pain according to His will. Please know that if you belong to Christ and are in submission to Him, the pain you are experiencing is not His vengeance on you. Cast all your cares on the Lord. The suffering and pain that we go through in this earthly life cannot even be compared to what awaits those who belong to Christ. ( Romans 8:18).

Father, please remove all generational curses to their feet, holy spirit direct them & reveal the root of the problem, unmask it now, in the name of Jesus! I pray healing over your vascular system, we break the spirit of highblood pressure off you & release total healing, blessing, restoration, God heal this person on the cellular level & remove all contaminants by the enemy. Amen, praise God, receive your healing in the mighty & powerful name of Christ Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah. Shalom.
Pain and suffering is a byproduct of sin entering the world thousands of years ago.
Romans 8:22-23 states; "For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
It is very difficult to focus on what good God might bring about as a result.
The clearest example of this in Scripture is found is Psalm 119. Notice the progression through verses 67, 71, and 75 - "Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I obey your word...It was good for me to be afflicted so that I might learn your decrees...I know, O LORD, that your laws are righteous, and in faithfulness you have afflicted me." The author of Psalm 119 was looking at suffering from God's perspective. It was good for him to be afflicted. It was faithfulness that caused God to afflict him. The result of the affliction was that he learned God's decrees and obeyed His Word.

These temporary bodies ware out.
