I have a cousin whom I love dearly. She is going through a tough time and has asked me to pray for her. I want to help, but I don't believe in prayer. What would your response have been?
Do things instead, give her a ride, help in whatever way you can, just be there . . .
Actions speak louder than prayers
I will not lie and say I'll pray, but that's me. I tell people I'll send good thoughts their way and keep them in mind. I think they are looking for some type of comfort and help, give her a hug and tell her she is always on your mind.
Just my two cents, for what it's worth.
Just say ok... you wish her well, that’s the same thing and has the same outcome, so just say ok... And then just to lighten up the mood perhaps say something like, “how about that Darwin?”
I guess I would have done the same thing, it all depends how bad off she was, if she was dying I would have given in cause if I loved her , and she on her way out and it would have made her feel better ,so what. But if she was just wineing and complaining a bout her boreing ass then I would given her the hard love and told her just what I thought, its all about being part of the solution and not part of the problem, but that's a tough one?
