Scientific Study on Prayer

"Study: Prayer didn't help sick" is a new article in The Seattle Times describing the results of a recent experiment on prayer and illness. I always find these studies interesting--sometimes they affirm that people do better when prayed for, sometimes not. This one doesn't.

I thought the study was particularly interesting in light of my recent bout with strep throat and prayer.

What's interesting is the notion that if someone prays, their "wish" should be granted. It's a concept that is difficult (though not complicated) to grasp: sometimes the correct response to our prayers is "No" or "Not Now".
