Would a prayer help here? Just before X-mas I thought I heard a burglar in my home. I woke my wife who heard?

it too. I listend at the staircase ,sitting on all fours. My old dog Paulus, came upy behind me and sniffed between my legs. As I was wearing hardly any clothes, I shouted and fell down the staircase, through a glass door. I had deep cuts in my arms. My wife helped me to the bathroom, she cleaned my wounds with alcohol. She threw the cotton with the alcohol in the toilet and went back to bed. I sat on the toilet and lit a cigarette. I threw the burning match in the bowl and WHOOSH! I was badly burned and my wife had to call an ambulance. When the two nurses carried me down lying on my tummy, my wife told the story: the burglar, the dog鈥檚 wet nose, the glass, the explosion etc. One of them laughed so much, he dropped the stretcher. I am now in the hospital, missing two teeth, I have a broken elbow, a concussion, a burnt back and and a damaged tibia. Today it appears I have cancer. My spleen is damaged and I will probably need surgery.Do you think prayer will help?
Serious answers pls.

Atheist Babe: in what country are you? Here everybody has his laptop in the hospital.

Well like any placebo, a prayer might help..

Certainly dear, go ahead, start praying and let us know the results.

Many studies have been done on the "power" of prayer. In some cases the people who were prayed for actually did worse!!

On average no decernable difference was made

edit: sucked in by the way

yes prayer will do and faith.

nope, just a feckin shotgun. both barrels of the b.stard should sort you out.

P.s you could always pray for a new wife, she sounds feckin usless.

And you believe in God?

Yes. I'm sure God likes a good laugh as well.

is this really true? if it is i feel sorry for you and yeah a prayer might help x

I don't believe you. This has appeared as a tall story before. Why waste your time to type this?

Depends. Do you feel that it's gotten you somewhere so far?

Edit: of course it's a story. The question is still real, people! It's an analogy for a bad chain of events that was a fluke and beyond your control. The point is: God's world did this to you. You didn't do it out of your own free will.

Will. Prayer. Help? That was the question; not looking for comment on the story! You'll note specifically: "serious answers only, please!"

It's a valid theological question.

um dude thats fu**ed.. i dont think a prayer will help.. Just stop being so clumsy.

No it won't

Since when did hospitals have PC's for patients?

i can't tell if it's a joke or if you really got hurt...!

if it's a joke...FUNNY STORY MAN!

if you're hurt.... i'm sooo sorry for you, i'm not extremly religous but a prayer every once and a while won't do bad!

i hope you heal quickly with at least pain as possible.
say hello to PAULUS for me, i'm a dog lover ;) !!

Nice rewrite of an old urban legend.

The first version I heard of this was 40 years ago.

Considering, it certainly wouldn't hurt.

hmmmmm you could try it

I don't believe the story, but if its true, praying never works, but gives you confidence.

god yer a wus y wake the wife so she could kick im the nuts?? she should pray for a real man w/a real story and a gun!!

yes I do, so say your prayer and God will ans weer it. Though I have heard a similar story once before a while back, but not on the net from some one at home. Still the power of prayer is amazing so say one from the your heart and God will answer your prayer. I will say one for as well.
Good Luck and take care. Keep the Faith.
....cya....

Yes. Pray that the lying spirit would come out of you. Then pray and accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour.

:o) sure

. More now than ever, What gets me is why didn't you pray when you heard the burglar. that would have stopped, the dog,the shout, the glass door, the cuts, the cotton&alcohol, the cigarette, and the WHOOSH. Instead: your wife hadt o get up twice to help you and you went to protect her,you are all busted up and NO BUGLAR ..........Now that is HALARIOUS............THUMBS UPS with BLESSINGS

Your story is a fake! Why didn't you say this earlier?

Strange that I heard this story before. What are the chances of that really happening?

that's great..........I like your style. Some people on here will actually believe all that, and will pray for you....but not me. I think that's a great story
