Marianne Williamson's book "The Gift of Change" is also a good one. And as for WAS's laughing at one's prayers, I just wonder one thing. Why do they know the LBSer is praying? '
Unless it's a show/tactic, which is not cool or healthy, one's prayers are not for public disclosure and when you tell the WAS that you are praying for them, it will NOT be met with warmth...it'll feel insulting, or judgmental, or very weird-lacking in insight on your end as if you are without fault, or manipulative and in no case will it come across as loving...so I'd keep it to myself.
Also, if the WAS finds out some other way and laughs at that, it would not happen again. I'd say "What's to laugh at?" and drop it. NEVER bring it up again.
My gut tells me that some LBSers want the WAS to know about the prayers as a tool to manipulate outcome. Speaking of which....Letting go of outcomes, TO ME, means doing your best in a tough situation and then leaving the results up to God. Life is short so what else can you do that's healthy anyhow?
