[Faith-talk] praying question

[Linda Mentink]

Hi VVejas,

It's happened to me a couple times, but a long time ago. Some believe 
that blindness is a sickness that needs to be healed. That's because 
they also believe that God wants everyone to be well. Or they think 
I'm blind because I don't have enough faith to believe I can be 
healed. Just try to be gracious. If you tell them not to pray because 
you believe that your blindness is something that God knows about and 
has allowed, they'll most likely pray that you be healed anyway.

Blessings,

Linda
