No, it can't hurt!! More than once, I prayed for my daughter's life to be saved - she was in the throes of heroin addiction for many years - and for mine to be taken, especially if she could become healthy enough to have a child of her own (which doctors thought might not be possible). By all statistics and common sense, there is no way for her to have lived through what she did and recovered, but she did!
She completely turned her life around and found a way to thrive. At the same time, I found out I have a deadly cancer. And then, while I was going through treatment, we found out she was pregnant!! Life is strange ... but it's made me wonder about prayers, or at least fervent wishes.
