Prayers don't help heart surgery patients. Some fare worse when prayed for

In a clear setback for those who believe in the power of prayer, their prayers were not answered. Prayers offered by strangers did not reduce the medical complications of major heart surgery. Not only that, but
patients who knew that others were praying for them fared worse than those who did not receive such spiritual support, or who did but were not aware of receiving it.More:

Please Pray for ADF Co-Founder Dr. D. James Kennedy...
Last Thursday, December 28th, ADF co-founder Dr. D. James Kennedy (right) suffered a heart attack at his home in Florida. As of yesterday, the news was VERY encouraging. Dr. Kennedy was off life support, was sitting up, and speaking with members of his family.
Please join with me and the ADF team in pleading for God's grace, mercy, and healing for this warrior statesman. His faithfulness and unwillingness to compromise on what counts has been a great undergirding for me. His witness and the humility of this servant of the Lord have affected my life in many ways. It is in great part because of his voice, his vision, and his perseverance that ADF exists and is making such an impact today. We will update you on his progress. Thank you!
