There are so many resources on the internet and one that is intriguing to me is the idea of people all over the world praying for your health. I have friends and family praying for me and the prayer circle at church has been saying a special prayer each week. But really, can you ever have too much prayer and can you ever have the wrong kind of prayer? I don't really know the answer to that question. I also think that many of us do not know how we will react to our own mortality when faced with cancer, but I do not that there is a strange kind of peace that comes with placing your name on a prayer list.
Research suggests that prayer plays a vital role in healing. Although it does not always cure, it promises spiritual well being and reduces anxiety and depression. Really, what could feel better than knowing that 100 people are praying for you?
Another interesting web site is beliefnet.com. This also has universal prayer circles and it also has discussion boards. This is from this weeks "inspiration discussion board"
If you could have one superpower what would it be?
