[Faith-talk] praying question

[justin williams]

I've never cared to have people do it.  I've allowed it to happen every now
and again, but I don't trust most people's focus, intention, and energy.  I
have the ability to discern where your energy is something I want aimed at
me or not; most people I prefer to keep their prayer to themselves and not
to send it my way. 
Someone told me recently however that me allowing such prayers could help a
person connect with God which could benefit them.  The individual who told
me this was of the Bahaii faith.

think it takes a lot of boldness to be able to go up to stranger and offer
to pray for them. Innoway, I wish I could be like that too because I love to
do the same thing and pray for people if I feel led by the Spirit.I guess I
never understood why blind people were offended because I think it is a very
nice thing for someone to do to do that because they feel better about it.
Innoway I understand, but I grew up being prayed for all the time so I guess
it is just second nature to me.I never see it as pity, but someone really
just wanting to help the other person feel better which is something I
always appreciate.usually after they're done praying for me, I offer to pray
for them and then both of us are blessed. :-)
