Laura - The first kind is the one that was uttered without being mentioned to the one being prayed to. The kind that whenever a situation occurs to the non-believer and then finds out later that the Christian had been praying for him/her without mentioning it. This is a non-egotistical approach, and the non-believer sometimes will even thank them. Why? It's a prayer that was truly selfless So does this mean you acknowledge the effectiveness of prayer? Prayer to God? Or are you saying that it is the attitude in which they approach prayer. JPW_ To many of us, whenever we had an argument with a Christian (Often an exercise in futility), they retort with a dismissal and a "I will pray for you". Laura - Christians are not supposed to argue. Disagree - sure but I have never retorted like that! I usually go the forgiveness route? Is that a concept that is familiar to you? Do you practice forgiveness? Laura ---------- "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man."
