How To Pray "Good News" With Patients

“ Dr. Bill” William Morehouse, MD

We all know that prayer is “where the rubber hits the road” in our faith, but how do we demonstrate and incorporate the powerful instrument of intercession in our daily lives and especially in our patient encounters? How do we carry the difficulties faced by patients to God and communicate the relevant aspects of the “Good News” back to patients in the clinical setting.

Problem addressed:

We spend a lot of time taking clinical care of people, but how does prayer fit in? Does God want us to pray openly with people? Is verbal prayer appropriate? How can we do it so that it will be received?
