When we doubt there’s a solution or anything that can help, we can turn to prayer. Because it works.
Consider results of this research study, Effects of remote, retroactive intercessory prayer on outcomes in patients with bloodstream infection:
In July 2000 patients were randomised to a control group and an intervention group. A remote, retroactive intercessory prayer was said for the well being and full recovery of the intervention group. A list of the first names of the patients in the intervention group was given to a person who said a short prayer for the well being and full recovery of the group as a whole.
Remote, retroactive intercessory prayer said for a group is associated with a shorter stay in hospital and shorter duration of fever in patients with a bloodstream infection and should be considered for use in clinical practice.
When we can't be with a caree or family member or friend during a particularly challenging time, we can schedule regular time for prayer.
