I know that as close a group as we all are, most times when somebody is in trouble, there is little any of us can do but offer words of encouragement or prayer.
Thought I would pass on some data I learned in a workshop today as a result of a research project.
It seems there was a group of AIDS patients that were tracked for this study. In 1/3 of the group, people were praying for the recovery of the patients and the patients were aware of it. In the 2nd 1/3, people were praying for the patients, but they were NOT aware of it. In the 3rd 1/3 of the group, no prayers were being offered.
In both groups being prayed for, patients had a significant improvement in the condition of their health. Worth thinking about next time you think you can't help make a difference when someone needs you....
