So out of curiousity Elmo... and I say this with a bit of tongue in cheek.

When you pray, do you tell God "how" to help?

I think it's great that you would ask your friends to pray for you. Just know that once you ask, you cannot control whether they do or don't contact your W. Is it fair to ask them to pray and yet in the same breath, you are asking them not to interfere?

Just food for thought...

Keep working through your emotions. The more you hold them back is the longer you will keep them.
