You did the right thing posting it on the religion forum. We have no way of knowing whether a request for prayer is bogus or not. THerefore each such request should be treated as genuine until we know otherwise. God will surely not hold us responsible for ferverently praying for one claiming to be in need of his blessings, even if we find that person and need never existed.

Let's pray our hearts out over each request for prayer and let God seperate the frauds from the real needs.

I know from experience that God hears the prayers of this group and many others. My own wife was at death's door last summer with Pneumonia on top of her diabetes, heart trouble and more, when her kidney function dropped to 2%. She is still with me and doing amazingly well, all things considered.

We give God the Glory and thanks for this and our thanks as well to this prayer group and many others and to the God given talents of her kidney specialist. A miracle did happen and this prayer group played no small part in keeping Ruth's needs ever before our Lord.

I promise my self and everyone else here that in the future, I will express any suspicions I may have about a post, to a moderator or to Jim, John in private communication. I now realize how unspeakably insensitive it would be to post such suspicions on a public forum and be wrong.
