This study only focused on those being prayed for, not those sick
praying for themselves. Those being prayed for didn't even know, in
many cases, they were being prayed for. Jesus said faith is the key to
healing. So, if the sick weren't believing themselves, it wouldn't
matter who was praying for them. They must believe in God's power to
heal them, themselves.
So, all those common expressions such as "We're praying for you"
or "Please keep them in our prayers" or "Our prayers go with you" are
worthless at best, heretical at worst?
It would only help if it inspired faith in the hearts of those being
spoken to.

Adding of course, the fact that they may be spoken of, prayed
or meditated about, even dreamt about, behind the patients in
questions' backs so to speak; seeing that there's vastly more
going on in the higher, albeit generally unconscious, psychic
realms of heaven and hell than meets the mortal, worldly eye. :-D
Enjoy!

Who says praying doesn't work:
One Saturday afternoon, after mowing the lawn in 98 degree heat and sweat
pouring from every pore in my body, I casually said: God, I wish I had an
ice-cold beer. My born-again spouse just stood there and smiled.
Knowing full well that the ***** wouldn't get me a brewsky, I jumped in my
pickup, drove to the liquor store and bought a 12-pack. When I got home, the
***** was still smiling and she smugly said: See, there is a God ... you got
your beer.
How can you argue with people who are that fu%$ed up in the head !!!
