I am reading a book called "Healing Prayer" written by a doctor who dives into the idea of medicine and prayer and the effect that prayer has had on people's health.... its amazing.
"The most persuasive reason to believe that prayer works is the indisputable fact that everyone uses it, pagans and orthodox believers alike. If prayer is not efficacious, why would it be universal? A good question. If prayer didn't work, why wasn't is abandoned long ago?"
"Spiritual practices clearly are a complement to traditional medicine, and we should make every effort to incorporate our patients' spirituality to promote healing."
"Prayer has a supernatural component as God's healing anointing and power overcaome disease in the body, but it can also offer an individual a specific direction to take in the natural world that leads to healing."
thats some good stuff.
What I love is that nearly 50% of our medications are derived from plants... things like Digoxin and Morphine and many many others that are used daily in hundreds of patients... from a plant. A plant that God created.
I am encouraged at the fact that although we have diseases that seem endless in this world... God has provided... he has provided from the start, and is still providing now.
blessed.
