by Richard Schiffman

Increasingly the evidence is proving that people who pray are healthier - and according to a University of Rochester study over 85 percent of people confronting a major illness pray, making prayer the most widespread alternative therapy in America today. Read More.

Prayer changes things!

Hi Luella,

I read that whole article and it was quite interesting. I also read the responses and it is amazing how seamingly intelligent people can be so naive. First, we are all made in GOD's image. So many people think of an image as something that you see when you look in the mirror. However, in this application the word 'image' refers to what we all have in common with our creator. As GOD created the birds and the bees, the bears and the trees and all other forms of life that breathe fresh air as well as those that are capable of breathing, the one commonality with all living things is our soul. Pure energy and light. Therefore, when we pray our thoughts rise from within, however the messege has already been sent because our energy or soul is just a tiny piece of the whole which is GOD. When we keepour thoughts and prayers on a positive level rather than a negative level we will overcome our weaknesses whatever they may be. Those that practice meditation on a daily basis and find themselves getting weaker rather then better feel that GOD has abandoned them. However, if that person is pushing 105 or 110, perhaps it is greed rather then GOD that is to fault. Not only that, we don't die anyway. Our mode of travel through this lifetime ceases, but our soul moves on to better things. Our bodies are not our life but rather the vehicle to carry our life (soul) through each existence.

GOD BLESS YOU

True Mike, our personal limitations have everything to do as to why prayers are not answered. Praying negatively or with fear does not work. And then when the desired outcome is not forthcoming, the common answer is that it was God's will. And this is nonsense. God does not will for anyone to go through any type of hardship. Or death. We have the answer right at our fingertips but many of us are not "evolved" enough to know how to use it. But a lot comes into perspective here.............. What we chose to do in life, the path we chose to take, what we chose to accomplish, and so on and so forth. And then, it can be the appointed time to move on. The person may be ready, for whatever reason or another, and I'm not specifically talking about the person per se, but the soul. And very true, we never die. We simply move on.
