[Faith-talk] praying question

[Vejas Vasiliauskas]

That is just really sad.
In some countries like Belgium and the Netherlands, you can get 
euthanasia, and what's even worse is that it seems that until you 
are an adult your parents can choose to end your life because of 
your disability.
Yes, you're right, I bet she had her own problems-how do you even 
respond to that!

I actually had someone come up to me about 20 years ago and 
suggest I take
Secondall to kill myself because she thought God punnished me.  
She must have
had her own problems.

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

Hi,
I'm sure that because we are all blind a lot of you have had this 
happen,
but have you ever had someone tell you that they'll pray for you 
because
you are blind?
Are they trying to pray for your happiness, or are they praying 
that we
would be able to see? (I'm talking about random strangers who 
notice you
are blind and will come up to you)
I'm interested in your take on this.
Vejas
