Ever
notice that most hospitals have chapels and clergy? In a survey of
1,144 U.S. doctors published in a leading medical journal, 85 percent
said that religion and spirituality have a positive effect on health. In
addition: 76 percent said faith can help people cope with illness. 74 percent said it helps ill people think in a positive way. 55 percent thought religious groups provided good emotional
and practical support to the sick. 54 percent believe that at times, a
supernatural being intervenes in health car. There is a direct
relationship or link between faith or spirituality and health. God made
us with a spirit, soul and body and they work together in a marvelous
way.
