The Baha'i Studies Listserv If prayer can cure a physical disorder, then why not a mental one? Do you believe that prayer can sometimes cure physical discoders? ----- Original Message ----- From: David Friedman To: Baha'i Studies Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2008 1:23 AM Subject: Prayer and mental illnesses/disorders
The Baha'i Studies Listserv I brought this issue up some time back. If I'm not mistaken, it was agreed that mental illnesses/disorders can be cured through prayer. Everything in my experience has been that prayer doesn't work for this. I've got an anxiety disorder and I gave up praying for it a long time ago. It's difficult to imagine the chemical balance in my brain magically correcting itself and me becoming a medical miracle just through prayer. Does anyone know of any Baha'is who have managed to cure themselves through prayer? If anyone here has managed to do so, please say a prayer for me. If God didn't want to answer my prayers then maybe He'll listen to someone else.
