I am posting this because there is a conflict between religion and medical science here. The Christian Science religion in this case.
Prayer can work but take care of the medical side too. Maybe God told you this when you were praying. God can help but you have to help too in the material world of medical treatment and even alternative medical treatments.
Exactly correct.
Prayer works because God still heals. I've seen it in my own life and in the lives of those around me.
The question is "How does God heal?
Sometimes He heals miraculously (I've seen this) and sometimes He uses doctors to do the healing (I've seen this too).
Luke, the writer of the gospel, was a physician. Do you think he abandoned all the good things God had revealed to him about how the body works when he decided to follow Jesus? I think he continued doing what he was called to do (be a healer).
Modern medical science and treatment is part of the way God has answered our prayers.
