We are Christians and believe very much in the power of prayer. You may have heard of the study they did some years ago...there was a hospital and down the street, a church. They created two lists of people in this hospital, and gave one list to the church, asking them to pray for these people. On each list was only the person's first name and illness. The other list was not prayed for.
It ended up that the people on the "prayed for" list got better significantly faster, more completely and more often, and required less medication than those on the "unprayed for" list. It is significant that there were several people on both lists who had the same first name and illness, but were separate people...and these people on the "prayed for" list still got better more than those on the "unprayed for" list.
This to me suggests that there is both force and intelligence in the answering of the prayers...
We have many many times had prayers answered in weird and miraculous ways, and want to encourage all to be selfish and ask for what you want and need, but be loving and ask for others wants and needs as well.
The moral of the story is...we're praying for you and your situation!
