Lord, as I treat patients, help me to be wise; Let me see their problems through Your discerning eyes. Guide me, Lord, and use me in everything I do. For you're the great physician and I long to be like you.
~ Robin Fogle
Many studies have shown the beneficial aspects of prayer.
1. In 1997, Dr. Koenig, professor at Duke Medical Center showed that people who attended regular religious services were less likely to have high levels of interleukin-6 (inflammatory mediator). In 1998, Dr. Koenig studied 4000 adults and found those that prayed regularly had 40% less hypertension than those that did not pray.
2. In 2001, a study of women with metastatic breast cancer, by the University of Luoisville School of Medicine, found that women who "were spiritual" had increased total circulating lymphocytes.
3. A 2002 study of AIDS patients published in Annals of Behavioral Medicine found that the "more religious" patients had the lowest levels of the stress hormone, cortisol. These are just a few of the studies that can be found.

The best way to love your spouse and children is to pray for them.
A Prayer for my Children (V. Neuhaus)
Lord, please let my children grow to not be just like me, but better than me. May they be a person who spends less time worrying and more time celebrating; more time loving and less time judging. May they be the kid who can tell who in their class is lonely and sad, and be a friend to them even if it's uncool. May they be the one who sees the beauty in others even when no one else can. May they be a believer, committed to the idea that they are capable, strong, lovely, and valuable even when others want to make them think they aren't. May they be a dreamer who is never afraid to create, even with the knowledge that others may want to destroy. May they be courageous enough to follow their heart's desire, even if it is not what I desire for them. May they be an innovative soul who views mistakes as blessings and opportunities instead of failures. May they be healthy, with an able body and mind, capable of conquering life's greatest challenges. My biggest hope, Lord, is for me: that I will love my children with my whole heart, just as You made them. Even if they are none of these things.
