I'm shocked. So I feel led to ask.....for men only please...if you were desperate and felt that God wasn't listening and honoring your faith, would you remind God that you have been faithful to His Word in not having long hair, and place your cut hair on a sick loved one for healing?

The poll may be confidential but I will reveal my answer: NO!
The notion of placing your hair on someone so as to cover the person suggests there's some sort of healing power in the hair itself and there is no biblical basis for claiming that there is healing power in one's hair. If God wasn't listening to my prayer and honoring my faith then I would have to conclude one of two things: 1) there is some sin in my life that is keeping my prayers from being heard or; 2) God's answer to my prayer for a particular person's healing is "no."
