Is Prayer like Paracetamol??

Ahh!!! that pain in the head...pop in a paracetamol..Oouch that back pain is killing...pop in a paracetamol..I always wondered what makes paracetamol such a handy pain reliever and my answer eventually came to me when I  chose pharmacology to specialize..The "within minutes effect" that paracetamol imparts is incomparable to any of the new generation drugs, but can prayer be compared with paracetamol. Prayer, as we all perceive as closing our hands in deep veneration to the Supreme Soul and asking for the enumerable things we want in life, is a daily ritual and quite an age old tradition also..

We pray at several occasions, sometimes facing the idol we worship and many a times imagining just the face..We pray for all types of wishes , tiny to small to big to biggest..But can those prayers, if directed to heal an injured soul, retrieve its lost vigor and zest to sustain instantly.? I feel prayer does help to heal the excruciating pain, experienced after an emotional trauma, but the speed at which it will work depends on the depth with which it has been created. Like a continuous i.v infusion of morphine or a sustained release diclofenac, all being wonder drugs in their mode and course of action. 

All that, I always pray for is the well being of my loved ones.  May they stay healthy, hearty, and happy..More than happiness I pray God to protect their soul, which should in no case get injured in the hackles of life. I am sure, with my constant praying, one day, these prayers will work as an instant shield, to protect these souls from any kind of irreparable damage..May be that moment of time, I may very well realize that my prayer did work like a paracetamol.
