Christ’s blessings and miracles are not predicated on us having complete, grown-tree-like faith. Just like the father who came to the Savior, we need to ask for Christ’s compensating power.

"I have never met anyone who was happier because he was immoral, or because he was addicted to something, or because he was dishonest and compromised his integrity." -Sheri L. Dew
The scriptures teach that the gift of faith is a gift from God (see Moroni 10:11). A gift entails something that is not solely earned. While we should do our part to gain and strengthen our testimony, in the end, faith is a gift offered to us by the grace of Christ.
When we talk about Christ atoning for our sins, this encompasses not only the consequences to ourselves, but all consequences—including those to other people. Part of atoning, or making amends for actions, is ensuring that others are compensated for the harm done to them.
"Sometimes we expect the Lord's blessings to come the way we would wish, rather than in His own way and timing." -Moisés Villanueva

Learning to keep the commandments is just as much a part of life’s journey as learning to have faith or learning to be patient. It is a process. However we often talk about obedience as a dichotomous outcome, as if someone is either obedient or not.

The term “saving ordinances” is often used. The general meaning of “save” is to protect or rescue, and the term “saving ordinance” does not only mean being saved in the next life, it also means being rescued by the Savior in this life

While we may not fully understand God’s reasoning or purpose in all things, we find solace in knowing that He is aware of each situation and circumstance of our lives. And we should remember that God allowing something to happen is different than God causing it to happen.
Whatever level your faith is at, Christ can compensate to make it enough. Christ simply wants us to let Him make our seed-like faith into a beautiful tree.

If you are praying for healing and it does not come, please know that you are not alone. There was a time when the ancient apostle Paul also prayed for relief which was not granted (2 Corinthians 12:7-9).
Jeffrey R. Holland: "To be a follower of Jesus Christ, one must sometimes carry a burden—your own or someone else’s—and go where sacrifice is required and suffering is inevitable."
