The Murmur of a Prayer ...5:36 pm
The story about the study that failed to show the healing power of prayer has probably provoked lots of ascerbic remarks from believers. I’m sure I’m not the first person to wonder if anyone connected with the research paused to consider the remark once made by someone — someone who by the way has a good deal of cachet in this area — to the effect of, “Thou shalt not put the Lord thy God to the test.” (Matthew, 4:7)
I can only guess that the word of the actual Lord was beyond the scope of the current study.
