[Faith-talk] praying question

[Poppa Bear]

I think that in 23 years of being blind I have only had about half a dozen
people attempt to pray over my blindness. Most people have seen it in a good
way and treated me as if it were some kind of gift at times.

I always appreciate people praying for me, but it gets to a point of
rediculousness sometimes when people just see me in a building or walking
down the street and they say "I'll pray for you." I have even had people
start quoting bible verses about how Jesus made the blind see. Or, they will
tell me to look up certain bible verses when I get home. What are people
thinking?!!!

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.
