Here’s a shocker. That’s right, a study failed to find a link between prayer and healing.
Could it be because A) healing isn’t the primary purpose of prayer in the first place (worshipping God is), B) most people who pray today are “spiritual, not religious” and don’t actually believe in the God who is, C) God never promised to provide miracles for everyone who prays, or D) all of the above?
Of course, expect the atheists to try to use this as proof that genuine prayer (Godly-oriented, worshipful prayer) is bunk too. But why should we be surprised that God doesn’t honor the prayers of non-believers and those who just wish for a magic trick. Jesus Himself pointed out that there were people who only came out to Him to see a miracle, not because they believed in Him. These people were told there would be no sign given them.
Why would we expect God to change now, just because someone does a study?
