I beg you for my child, whom I have become the father of in my chains, Onesimus, who once was useless to you, but now is useful to you and to me. I am sending him back. Therefore receive him, that is, my own heart.
I learned recently about an experiment which shows why it is important to pray. Patients in a hospital being treated for heart problems were divided into two groups. One group of patients was prayed for and the other group was not. The patients did not know about this experiment and neither did the doctors who took care of them. After the experiment was over, everyone was amazed to find that those patients who were prayed for got well faster and had fewer things go wrong than the patients who did not receive prayers.
