Please take this as a an exeperiance, not a statement.
I live in Tulsa, OK. the home of the Revend Oral Roberts. As you may or may not know Rev. Roberts built a huge modern hospital across from his university and encouraged people from all faiths, anywhere in the world to seek treatment there.
Ten or twelve years ago at two or three in the morning I am doing the c/h dance. Like many times b4 I call a cab to take me to the ER. The cab driver says let me take you to Oral Roberts ER, it is closer than the others and the roads are new and smoother.
I agreed, cab drivers are smart, right?
After the standard ER crap they put me in an exam room and nice Japanese resident examined me, this took about half an hour, the next thing I knew twelve people surrounded my bed and begain to prey for me. I felt special for a while untill the the cluster started bearing down, the fright on the people praying face's was scary. After another half hour the resident returned with a shot of nubain, I was moved to a different room and the medical director came to see me off, he told me to never come back to this hospital again.
Turned around, said a prayer for me and left.
I left soon after only to go to another ER across town and finally got relief.
I don't prey much but I have said a prayer for your wife.
Moral of the story.
Oral Roberts can't help you with cluster headache!
Prayer is a positive reinforcement of someone's belief's, but not always a cure.
By the way Oral Roberts University Hospital Closed It's doors owing millions of dollars to creditors shortly after my visit.
