Prayer as part of the Healing Process

For many of us who have had experienced a chronic disease, we know how important it is to follow our treatment.

As our body gets used to the ongoing treatments, we even experience physical sensations of withdrawal and different reactions  once the treatment is not present.

Besides our main treatments we also try to look for alternate treatments to improve our quality of life.

Prayer is an effective alternative treatment method. Some people tend to do yoga or meditation, however in my experience, prayer has a special and unique quality.

To pray is simply to speak to God. It os like getting in contact with the person knows you best.

Prayer brings a positive aspect into the lives of those who opt to do it. It certainly helps to start a treatment with a positive outlook. Many doctors concurr that there's no risk in a person exploring and incorporating  spiritual aspects to their treatment. Prayer keeps the person in an optimistic mood and attitude towards a  situation are key  to the outcome.

Prayer helps us understand the perfect will of God which is to provide an ideal outcome even against the most unsurmountable odds.

Humanly speaking connecting to God will always provide the peace that is beyond human understanding.

So let's include prayer in our daily tasks be it  alone with God, through meditation or along with friends in fellowship. Let's place our  illness and all our worries in His hands and wait upon Him.

Other benefits of prayer include:

*To open ourselves in knowledge and  spirit to the idea of God's healing power.

*Stress relief

*Being able to face adversity

*Straighten our life priorities

*And the very best thing, give God some of our time and create a personal bond with Him

Mathew 7:7

 "Ask and you shall receive. Because he who asks, shall be answered,he who looks shall finds and ge who calls shall receive an answer."
