I mean, if praying brings someone emotional peace, is therapeutic to them, and helps them get through tough times, why do some of you seem so irritated by them praying?


No harm in that at all.  In fact I sometimes sit in quiet expectation of an answer or inspiration which isn't already apparent.  If prayer makes that work better for folks, why not?  Do you think it matters where the 'answers' come from?
