THE HEALING POWER OF PRAYER
Did you know communicating with God can bring healing to your mind, body, emotions, and relationships? David knew how to cry out to God and that was a huge part of his healing.
Psalm 34:17-18
The righteous cry, and the Lord hears
And delivers them out of all their troubles.
18 The Lord is near to the brokenhearted
And saves those who are crushed in spirit.
Talking to God brings a sense of Peace like nothing else can do. Prayer is medicine for your wound.
Studies Show Prayer Makes Good Medicine
Professor Diane Becker of Johns Hopkins University is part of a series of current studies investigating the relationship between faith and healing. "We are not out to prove that a deity exists," says Dr. Becker. "We are trying to see whether prayer has meaning to people that translates into biology and affects a disease process."
Medical acceptance has grown along with scientific data on prayer's impact, says Dr. Dale Matthew of Georgetown University, author of The Faith Factor. He estimates that about 75 percent of studies on spirituality have confirmed that it has health benefits. “If prayer were available in pill form, no pharmacy could stock enough of it.” Imagine going to your pharmacist with a prescription for 500 mg of prayer!
