The Gospel says about Jesus’ disciples that they “were casting out many demons and were anointing with oil many sick people and healing them” (Mark 6:13). Today, practically nobody in Christianity would say to anyone to pray for healing instead of going to see a doctor. And yet people keep praying for healing. Sociological studies have consistenly shown that prayer is the most common healing practice used outside conventional medicine in the United States. Prayer and faith bring meaning, hope, comfort, sustain patience and give strength to people who are experiencing illness. It could be said that Christian healing power results from compassionate care and listening presence.
