Prayer is what we use to communicate with God, faith is what we use to obtain our request, while courage is what we need in life to carry out any assignment or task. I believe that there is also a scientific link between faith and healing from sickness even as buttressed by scientists in their recent researches. The practice of faith should, and in many cases does, alter the person you are. It can affect the patterns of your brain and your emotions and so, it comes as no surprise when a bizarre scientifice experiment concluded that faith in God really can relieve pain. WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE? you opinion is important to this discussion. thanks.

I believe that our brains are much more powerful then we will ever realize. Faith is an intense mental process. With that in mind, I think that faith in something (God, gods, goddesses, the supernatural, the spiritual) can help us achieve a higher power within our brain and can help to relieve, lower, and control pain.

problem starts when faith is linked just with religion and god. faith can be independent of god and religious beliefs. most of these reports are tampered to suit the vested interest of a few groups. actual report would have been quite different and is no way connected to god or any religious group.

Faith in God will relieve all your pains in life. No one can make you feel better and no one can help you, only God. You have to believe, have faith. Just be sincere to yourself and to God and everything else will follow. Sometimes it's easy to say but it's not easy when you start doing it. You have to trust yourself and trust God.
