goddess2009: Ummmmmm - Maybe she should see a medical professional - even if you believe in prayers - belief will not cure sickness.
Really - Medical science will help - not prayer:
* 20 believers contract the disease * All of them have read James 5:15, so all of them pray. * 19 of them die * The one who lives proclaims, "I prayed to the Lord and the Lord answered my prayers! My disease is cured! It is a miracle! I KNEW God would answer my prayers!" * You never hear about the 19 who died. No one ever writes about them in a magazine. "Person prays, then dies" is not a great headline. And since they are dead, you will never hear from any of these people. * Therefore, if you don't look at all the facts around the "answered prayer," and you only hear about the one out of twenty prayers that succeed, it appears that prayer is successful.[/quote
Aww gees,...not to knock ya... or looking for a debate,..but its the thought that counts for supporting people who are sick...
I fully Respect people who do not believe in Praying, I happen to be one who does, and for me it has worked Miracles...but thanks for your Feedback all the same....

She has been under medical care for almost 2 months. We waiting a yet another set of tests. Reaching out and asking for prayer is comforting to us that wait, and I have seen changes happen, in my life. Sorry you feel a need to be negative when someone is hurting.......all those that do not believe in the term 'prayer' still sent their love, and to you I return the love with a greatful heart!
