It’s interesting how much prayer makes a difference in my life.\u00a0 I looked up a couple of studies that were done on patients with prayer. I was hoping to find some really definitive info.\u00a0 But like with all real scientic studies there isn’t ever black and white definitive information.\u00a0 But I will list a couple of the things I read and then give my opinion
\nHarvard<\/a> – This Study said 59% had complications versus 52% that didn’t have people pray for them.<\/p>\n

St. Luke’s Hospital<\/a> – This study said prayer made a difference.<\/p>\n

I also realized that they were praying for the people to get better.\u00a0 However, if you believe in God, maybe God would rather have the people in heaven.\u00a0 I think I would rather be in heaven, no pain lots of happiness no death.\u00a0 so who is to say being made well here is better.<\/p>\n

I can say I know I am happier becuase I pray and because I believe God helps me through the hard times, and helps make the good times better.<\/p>\n

If you and thinking to yourself.\u00a0 I don’t believe that.\u00a0 I’m not asking you to believe I am only telling you about my expereinces.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 If you want your life to be better I can tell you what I’ve done to make my life better.\u00a0 It’s up to you to try it… or to not try it.\u00a0 You may find something that makes your life better, or makes your life happier I would like to hear about it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
