How can prayers help with health?

How can prayers help with health?

I grew up in Malaysia, where God was spoken about openly by everyone around me.

I loved science and math in school, and never saw a discrepancy between God and science. I learned that science is based on developing a hypothesis and doing experiments in order to test the hypothesis. This practice has become a major aspect of my personality as I started to develop an understanding of emotions and health. The more I learned science and math, the more I loved the God that created such a beautiful, well functioning world. In science and math, I also found peace and harmony from the violent environment I grew up in. 

As I was blessed with the second chance to practice medicine in my later adult life, I always kept God in mind. The more I discovered the truth between emotions and illness, the more I connected to my real self and my passion for prayers.

What patients don’t know when they are in sessions with me is that I am praying the whole time so that I can better help them, and for God to help them directly. All the good that happens during a session is a result of prayer.

I have had addictions to belonging and for validation as a doctor in Canada, so I have kept this part of myself a secret. However, I started doing prayer experiments with a group of friends this past year, and seeing the benefit of prayers for everyone involved has given me the courage to share this incredible gift we have been given. Through our prayer experimentation, we are learning to access the highest support given to each of God’s precious children.

I have not had an easy relationship with prayers and God. As a child, I was taught that if I prayed, God would help and rescue me. I used to pray hundreds of times daily as a child, year after year, only to have violence continue on and worsen over time. At age 14, I experienced trauma so heartbreaking, I gave up on God. I still attended temple and did the prayers, but my heart was closed to the God that abandoned me and let me be abused.

When I was 29, I decided to confront the terror of my past, in order to protect my children from having similar experiences. This was a result of my observation that my husband at that time had a similar mental health diagnosis as what I suspected in one of my parents. I hypothesized that if an issue from the past could repeat itself in adult life, then maybe other issues such as childhood sexual abuse could also repeat in my children. 

In the process, I rediscovered my heartbreak towards God who I believed never answered my prayers. I engaged my true feelings and allowed all that rage and grief to be expressed. Some of the emotions I expressed were feelings of abandonment and rejection. God said if I prayed, He would rescue me, but what kind of God would abandon a child, and allow her to be raped year after year. How could this God feel that this was ok? What kind of God would allow children to be raped and abused? I didn’t care what kind of penalty I would receive from being angry with God, I would say what I felt. 

Interestingly what I felt from someone (God or my spirit guide) was that I was having a relationship and engaging with God by allowing myself to feel and express these things to God. It must have taken close to 3 years before I was able to release enough pain, and receive some feelings from my spirit guides and God that opened me to God again.

I came to see God as a friend, someone I can be familiar with and talk to as I would a loving parent. I was still blocked from seeing the role of suppressed emotions and how they impacted my children and my life, but this ease with God planted the seed for the faith I would need to grow as I stopped being in denial about my role in causing hardships for my children. 

For the past 10 years, I have been challenging and confronting many painful aspects of my life and my role in causing pain in others as a result of discovering divinetruth.com. My faith that God is accessible and wants to help me has been the only reason I am still on this journey. My love for the scientific method encouraged me to develop experiments, so that I could discover for myself how the emotional process works, and how prayers work in engaging God with that process. 

I am 53 as I write this, and my journey towards God continues on with more passion than ever. The power of prayer is the only way I can keep going as I heal not only from the damage done to me, but especially from the damage I have done to others in the avoidance of my pain.

What have I learned about prayers? I have learned that prayers are desires that arise out of emotions. If I am saying the words but have no emotions, those are not prayers. I have learned that praying about addressing the cause of a situation will bring quick results. If I pray for God to help with the situation, which is the effect of a cause within me, I don’t get a response. When I pray for God to give me something I need such as more money, or make someone treat me nicer, or for someone to love me, those prayers don’t work as that is about changing the outcome without addressing the cause. It is also about asking God to interfere with someone else’s free will in some situations. 

I have learned that if I am praying to take responsibility for my role in the situation, and ask for help to release the cause, the answer always comes. I have also found that if I pray for a change in outcome, I also need to be putting work into it on my end. God will not do for me what I am not willing to do for myself.

Instead of asking, “God can you give me more money?” I pray, “God, what in me is the cause for my current situation and how can I change it? What emotion do I need to release? What actions do I need to take that are more aligned with my true nature and respect God’s Laws? God, what fear do I need to release? God, what demands and emotional addictions do I have towards money that I need to release?” 

When praying for others, there are many prayers that help them in invisible ways (to me), that have profound impact on them for a very long time. I have observed people that seemed blocked from seeing the truth of the cause of an issue, suddenly open their eyes wide in wonder as they saw the connection within themselves. I have seen people choose the courage to face an issue as a result of a prayer I spoke quietly in my mind (I pray that they could be free of the suffering they are in, or that they could feel how God feels about them). 

The most powerful aspect I have found is that I can pray for something that they may not ask for themselves due to low self worth or other injuries. My praying for them opens doors for God to respond to them. They also receive feelings from me that they are worth praying for, which increases their feelings of self worth (even if they are not aware of my prayer and the emotion entering them).

Some of the prayers I do for patients during sessions are: God please help them receive truth about the cause of their condition; God, please help them feel Your feelings of their worth; God, please help them be open to receiving help and love from their guides. I also pray to be shown what I could bring to their attention to focus on, and be shown the medicine that will best help them. I pray for God to help me not engage emotional addictions, or help me stay in my emotions so I stay in humility, or help me be a channel for our guides to be able to help, as they are the best resource possible for helping the patient.

I usually let the patient situation and story evoke empathy in myself, and then use that emotion to generate a prayer for them. Even anger about someone’s situation can trigger a prayer. I see patients believing lies about their low worth or value and this triggers anger in me. I will then pray to God that I do not want people to believe such horrible things about themselves when this is absolutely not the truth. I pray for God to find a way to help remove such horrific false beliefs in them. 

For example, I may be walking by someone and feel how bad they feel about themselves, at which point I am ranting at God that this is a travesty. They are living a lie, and this cannot stand. I pray to God that I want those terrible feelings removed from them, and the truth of their value be shown and restored in them. 

Taking inspiration from Ho’oponopono, I also pray for God to show what in me is the cause that is contributing to someone’s situation, that I could release emotionally. Ho’oponopono is a Hawaiian prayer that consists of 4 parts: I love you. I am sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. 

This prayer can help alleviate the contribution we are unknowingly making to the world situation, as our suppressed emotions manifest and add to the challenges on earth. This prayer helps me get into a gentle feeling of repentance and self forgiveness because it acknowledges that I wasn’t aware of the harm my suppressed emotions were causing, and I am willing to change and release this pain from myself. When I look at the hardships my children are enduring, I tend to go into self judgements. When I practice Ho’oponopono I go into a softer place. By repenting, I find it easier to release the emotional addictions I have which are harming them, and my behavior changes almost without thinking. I don’t have as many expectations or judgements about how my children are choosing to live their lives. I become more unconditionally accepting of others exactly as they are, which reduces conflict, and allows for others to have space to make their own choices. 

I have prayed for courage, for help to keep feeling an emotion so that I can release it, for God to show me how much She loves everyone, to see and feel my spirit guides, to feel that God is with me, to give me faith that God is the way, to release the cause of my emotional addictions, to help me see what I am denying, to treat myself the way God is treating me, etc.

At some point, I hope to be open enough to pray for God’s Love to enter me, as I have learned that this is the most powerful prayer I can ask for, and will have the most impact on ourselves and others. I learned this from my teachers Mary and Jesus at divinetruth.com. I am currently not open to asking for this Love as I feel unworthy, and still have emotional addictions of wanting approval. This makes me do what my ancestors in the spirit world want, which is to deny myself the happiness of receiving God’s Love. 

I believe that even if I am praying incorrectly, I am better off praying and learning more about it by experimenting, than not to pray out of fear of making mistakes, or fear of being punished, or many other blocks that we can have to pray to God.
