> Margit Hammerstrom, “Prayer: The best daily self-care,” October 12, 2026
At one time, I felt that praying for myself was selfish. Then I was reminded that during an emergency on an airplane, people are told to put their own masks on first so they can help others with theirs. I still need the reminder to pray for myself—it is a great message, as doing so really does work.

I wanted to thank the writer for touching on the “serious” nature of prayerful healing. In the testimony, the practitioner is acknowledged as saying that “anytime someone thinks they are imperfect, he takes that to be extremely serious because it’s a lie about them.” That statement speaks to me clearly.

I’m really grateful for this comforting and profound article. It explains with Christly simplicity and tenderness so much that we need to understand about the subject.
