“when it comes to pain complaints, many people find that their friends and even their physicians doubt them. It’s all in their head, people conclude. They’re exaggerating. They’re seeking attention. They’re seeking drugs. Maybe it’s depression. Can’t they just get over it?”

“For believers, praying, meditating, reading holy scriptures, and the like can have a calming, soothing effect that reduces the sensation of pain. These practices take people’s attention off their symptoms of pain and set it on a higher plane, reminding them of God’s power and love and reinforcing their hope. The prospect of heaven gives them a better life to look forward to, one without pain. All this helps to provide a sense of peace that pours healing oil on the internal agitation caused by their pain.”
