Prayer for healing is prayer for oneness.

For many, healing is the absence of suffering, the absence of sickness. When one prays for healing, one frequently offers a supplication to God that an individual be relieved of suffering and be returned to a state of wellness. This is, of course, one element of healing, but it is a very small part. Indeed, it is the least significant aspect of the potential you call healing. It would be more helpful for you if you would recognize that a prayer for healing is really a prayer for oneness with God. It is a prayer for the recognition of God's presence. It is a prayer for peace and the ability to accept what is and the faith to accept what may be.
