Thank you for the responses to my last post. They've been interesting to read.
Since then, I've been thinking more about this whole prayer thing, particularly related to one of the incidents I talked about.
The Thursday morning also involved 2 phone calls (I cant remember if I mentioned that and I'm on my PDA so cant easily check!). Both, as it happens, to the same number - a couple of friends (married).
Interestingly for me, I focused on the positive potential answers to prayer rather than the negative, but in thinking since then, have thought about the negative. Both people I spoke to were unable to come and see me - one because there were things already planned (this one didn't know the state I was in), and the other because of a family emergency (who did know the state I was).
So that brings in the question of gods role there. Was that god saying 'no matter what state you're in, you don't really need to see anyone'? Or was that out of gods control - the family emergency and unchangable event planned?
I know there's no answers, but looking at it that way makes you wonder about a loving god.
Or maybe I just read too much in to things.
