(January 15, 2014 at 7:19 pm)Sword of Christ Wrote: I think what prayer ultimately does is to help God help you do whatever it is you want to do/achieve. So perhaps you will get the self confidence to be successful in your job interview, you gain greater perceptive awareness to find your lost keys and with cancer you boost your bodies healing and recuperative abilities. Certainly people who fight cancer with a positive attitude will have a higher survival rate than those who feel hopeless and helpless. So we can say with certainty that prayer does in fact work though only a certain way to a certain point.

You might be better able to manage your life and cancer treatment when you are able to look at things in a positive light, but that’s not always possible either. It’s much healthier to admit that having cancer can make you and your loved ones feel sad.
