last night a family member had a life threatening situation occur.(she had brain surgury in the night and is hanging on)
i am really struggeling because my mom keeps telling me to PRAY! "you have to pray...its all we can do!" so, ive instructed my kids to pray for her, but i am so numb...because i dont know how prayer works anymore.its seems like we are just begging god to change his mind, or, if we get enough people to sign the petition( praying) that maybe we can have an effect.or...we could pray that god's will be done. does praying that give god the permission he was looking for to make a decision?
i just dont get it. i wish i had faith like a child, but, i dont.
if you respond, please be nice. thanks.
