| How about this... I love playing the devils advocate.... it's a lot of fun. I really doubt that other people praying has any effect at all... however the person going in for surgery or whatever it is.... would be helped by it at least mentally. Praying gives hope, hope can never be a bad thing though hope only works with the person doing it. I would be cerious to see if people who prayed for themselves and worked to get better vs people who gave up but still go through the motions of getting better... well I have lost it but you know what I am saying. Or even not praying... just... being spiritually active or being in a support group, something to keep up your hope... |
