In many of the stories that talk about Christ healing, reference were made to that fact that it was faith and belief that healed and not the actual touch that created the miracle. White (2011) “Marvelous will be the transformation wrought in him who by faith opens the door of the heart to the savoir” (p.51). We must always have to have a positive attitude. Having a positive attitude shows compassion, to show compassion you have to be attentive, and use your active listening skills to truly understand what your patient needs are to empathize with what they are going through. When you show empathy they can tell that you care about their well-being and that it goes beyond the job and a paycheck.
Christians today would say that if they have prayed and asked God to cure a particular person and they are cured, then it is indeed a miracle. Their prayers for that person's health have been answered so they look upon this as a miracle. Now whether this is technically correct is debateable.

There is a depth to our words that seems to pour a healing balm into their wounds. We who have felt the sting of grief, who have experienced the pain of loss, are often the best at helping others. It’s important to have a good understanding of the stages of grief. Knowing these stages will help you in ministering to those who are in the midst of their grief. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 describes this saying, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.” We can relate to the pain others are feeling, because we have experienced pain too.

Which decisions about dying are morally acceptable to concernd Christians, and which ones go beyond morally acceptable limits? Which medical practices and public policies allow for more humane treatment for those who are dying and which ones open the door to abuse and the violation of human dignity? Proposals in various states to legalize physician-assisted death [3] point to renewed interest in these old questions. ELCA members, congregations, and institutions need to address these questions through prayer and careful reflection.
And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working (James 5:13-16). James 5:13-16 supports the concept of a healing hospital because it shows the relationship between the process of healing and spirituality in the form of prayers.
