There's More than One Way to Treat “Pain”

Most people think that pain is nothing more than the physical or emotional hardship that everybody experiences. There are physical disabilities and difficulties that we experience that make life unbearable, and while some people are lucky enough not to suffer those things, many lose their will to live due to excruciating pain they feel in their hearts. This is a different kind of pain that is not experienced by the body and mind.

In this case, what is felt is more spiritual than emotional. This is where healing ministries come into play, as oftentimes those who are in pain simply need someone to intercede and pray for them. Companionship goes a long way in teaching a person that nobody is ever alone in their time of peril, and those who are have bottled up their pain inside them for years will find relief in having a shoulder to rely on.

Christian healing ministries follow the principles set by Christ in anointing the sick. Here, prayer and the laying of hands are given just as much importance as conventional medicine, for it is believed that ailments in the body are partly a manifestation of deficiencies in the spirit. The proper way to treat pain of all kinds is to adopt a holistic approach: treating the body, mind, and soul.
