How consciousness relates to body

The path to health

By Elise L. Moore

Every morning I hear a commercial on my favorite radio station. It starts like this: "How many times have you said to yourself, 'If I could just take a little tablet, ...'?" Then a pill is promoted for solving some physical problem. Or there's the local newspaper advertisement for quick surgical procedures to correct various physical defects, not to mention television ads promising instant relief from aches and pains. Perhaps prayer needs a bigger advertising budget.

I've found that, when radically applied with an understanding of divine law, prayer is the most effective method for treating physical problems. Yes, even more effective than popping a pill. Let me give an example or two.

Years ago I was hiking in the mountains. I began to experience the symptoms of altitude sickness. No pills, no pharmacy, no physical assistance on this mountainside! But prayer is always available. Turning wholly to God, I was totally healed within fifteen minutes and remained free for the rest of the trip.
