Prayer

I don’t need science to tell me if prayer works.”

prayerDavid R. Hamilton PhD – This is what a friend once said to me. It’s a fair point, and I agree.

For some people, prayer is all they have left. For many, it provides a type of comfort that can never be found anywhere else. It can lift a weight from a person’s shoulders.
