Healing and health require correcting unhealthful practices, improving surroundings, and aligning with natural and spiritual laws.

Draft interpretation · MH 227.4

Original passage

It is labor lost to teach people to look to God as a healer of their infirmities, unless they are taught also to lay aside unhealthful practices. In order to receive His blessing in answer to prayer, they must cease to do evil and learn to do well. Their surroundings must be sanitary, their habits of life correct. They must live in harmony with the law of God, both natural and spiritual.
