It angers me too when I get this response at times because I know there is no cure. I know my family and friends feel as helpless and powerless against this illness as I do a times. They turn to what they know to help and there is a belief system that there that is a healing power in prayers, this is what they are hoping for us. This is someone's way to turn to, who doesn't know what to do to help, of their only way to show/to know to be supportive. If you don't share the same belief system, it is difficult to imagine the prayers will bring any comfort; some find relief, calming and a self soothing with them and others do not, let alone that there is healing power behind them. I now accept that this belief, that may or may not be shared, be taken (or not) at will. I have to let it go now so that they do what they want. I know my beliefs with my own faith in the world and let it go. They're just doing what they think, if anything, that might help us. Ask them to pray for you instead.
