Anyway, if someone offered to pray for me than more power to them. Prayer is universal no matter what faith you have. It is a personification of hope and that is what allows people to get through desparate situations. Even Atheists have prayer. They may not pray to a deity but they manifest their hope and dreams in order to provide a better life for themselves. It may be something mundane as "I hope I win the Lottery" or "I can beat this cancer" but they are still prayers. Are they listened to by supernatural beings? We pray that they are but there is no proof. We have to take it on the faith of our beliefs that they are. So when someone asks if they can pray for me, I say sure. I don't care what their beliefs are because they are instilling hope in the universe and that can't be a bad thing.

Again, wheres the thanks button when you need it. LOL
