1 | does prayer produce measureable results? | Matt 16:4 | dennis2tw | 69382 | ||
Can we prove that prayer works? Is there any documentation or study which proves that Christian prayer works better than Mormon prayer (or Hindu, Catholic, Jehovah's Witnesses, generic, Jewish, Muslim, Satan, etc.)? I have a newspaper clipping (The Daily News, Jacksonville, NC; Nov 10 1998, Associated Press) which states that angioplasty (heart) patients at Duke University benefitted from prayer. The study was presented to the American Heart Association. That same study indicated that stress relaxation, guided imagery, and touch therapy helped the patients, but prayer was more effective. The study was not considered to be statistically significant because it had only 5 groups of 30 patients each. It was conducted to see if a larger study is feasible. Each patient receiving prayer was prayed for by Christians, Catholics, Jews, and Buddhists. And of course they had a control group which received no prayer. Elijah won a prayer contest. Would Jesus approve of a prayer study or contest today? |
