How to Find Health through Prayer by Glenn Glark

Excerpt from Chapter III titled "I Go Forth Adventuring"

When my early discoveries in prayer first came out in book form in The Soul's Sincere Desire, I was besieged by requests from all over the country for prayers for healing of the sick. At first I shrank from asking God to harness his giant Niagara of the Spirit to their little mill wheels of the body. But one day after spending hours over the New Testament it dawned upon me that two thirds of Jesus' reported act were acts of healing, and from that time forward I consented to pray for the body as well as for the soul. But I did lay down one condition— that discipline of the mind and heart and soul should always precede the prayer for the body. For I agree completely with Dr. Loren T. Swaim of Boston who wrote me, "I think there are too many miracles demanded without any real disciplined living or real hard work behind them. When Jesus found the real faith plus the disciplined living and a responsible person, He could cure at once. I think sometimes we have to be prepared to be cure, so that it is really worth while doing it." Having made this discovery and having laid down this condition I at once decided that before I started disciplining others I had better start disciplining myself. This chapter, therefore, shall be the story of how I disciplined myself.
