A letter writer’s friend was embarrassed by a stranger offering to pray for her.
While she was out in public with me recently, a woman approached my friend and asked if she could lay hands on her and pray for her.
But offers of being grabbed by a stranger, for whatever reason, do not require a carefully crafted response. An emphatic “No!” — while moving away, if necessary — is both acceptable and wise.To acknowledge the stranger’s benign intent, your friend could add “thank you” after she has reached a safe distance.As I waited for the bus today, I approached the only other person at the stop and asked if he knew whether this bus usually runs late. I thanked him for his input and returned to the bench.
