In a small town in America, a person decided to open up his Bar Business, which was right opposite to a Church. The Church & its Congregation started a campaign to block the Bar from opening with Petitions and prayed daily against his business.
Work progressed. However, when it was almost complete and was about To Open a few days later, a strong lightning struck the Bar and it was Burnt to the ground. The Church folk were rather smug in their outlook After that, till The Bar owner sued the Church authorities for $2million on the grounds that the Church through its congregation & Prayers was ultimately responsible For the demise of his bar shop, Either through direct or indirect Actions or means.
In its reply to the court, the Church vehemently denied all Responsibility or any connection that their prayers were reasons to The bar shop's demise. In support of their claim they referred to the Benson study at Harvard that intercessionary prayer had no impact! As The case made its way into court, the Judge looked over the paperwork
At the hearing and commented:
'I don't know how I am going to decide this case, but it appears from the paperwork, we have a bar owner who believes in the power of Prayer And we have an entire Church and its devotees that doesn't.'

Hi Amit,
A wonderful piece to share with.
Clearly shows about the human mentality, when it comes to danger.
The bar owner who is in danger (loss of money) believes in prayer, so that he can ask for money..
Whereas the church who is in the danger (paying money) refuses the power of prayer, to escape from paying the solace.
Hereby it is very obvious that Prayer is our own belief only.
Very good piece and thanks for sharing this...
