A:Believing that illness is the result of past wrongdoing that must somehow being forgiven just adds further suffering through feelings of guilt and self-blame. There is no evidence of any connection between sin and sickness, so the two should be thought of as entirely separate, with separate causes.

It has long been held that prayers for the sick help in their recovery so, in 2005, the John Templeton Foundation conducted a carefully designed, double-blind trial of the effect of intercessary prayer on the outcome of surgery. The intention was to evaluate whether (1) receiving intercessory prayer or (2) being certain of receiving intercessory prayer was associated with uncomplicated recovery after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. The Templeton Foundation and its supporters in this trial are far from adversarial to the notion that prayer is beneficial, yet they conclusively report that intercessary prayer was proven to have no benefit on the outcome of surgery, in the most carefully designed trial of this type ever undertaken. This evidence suggests that it is not possible to make God heal you. You should rely on the best medical help available to you.

Forgiveness is another matter, since it can never be proven in tis life whether God has forgiven. If you believe in divine forgiveness, the answer is to pray for forgiveness and seek to lead a more exemplary life in future.
