Preying helps the ones addicted to hope I feel.

The fact that you can see no point in prayer beyond the obvious is the reason why it will never work for you, and you will continue to both be miserable and unable to overcome problems that plague you emotionally.

quote: ORIGINAL: michaelOfGeorgia so many times i've seen and heard people say something like: "You're in our prayers". but, honestly, does it REALLY work? It seems as though if prayer worked, the profession of physician would never have been created. Droughts would not happen in farming communities because the group prayers held there would generate rain. Limbs would regrow through undeniably miraculous processes, candlelight vigils held for missing children would always produce the children home alive and unharmed. The queen of England would be immortal thanks to the nationwide prayers of " God save the Queen!

The reason she isn't immortal is because I like many others just mime the words. Personally I’m starting a petition to make the pink panther theme tune our new national anthem. Hopefully this will be in place before we win all those bronzes in the next Olympics.

when going out to a dinner (for whatever reason) i watch others to see just how many really are praying, who's just got their eyes closed or if there's someone else looking around. gave up on prayer a long time ago...when my son died.

sleazybutterfly -> RE: Honestly...does prayer REALLY work? (7/28/2007 6:19:10 PM)
Yes, it does. The thing is though, we aren't promised an easy ride in this world. There are a lot of sick people that will still tell you that prayers are answered every single day. Not every person is going to get a cure, perhaps they will be give the strength to deal with the thing they have wrong. I have had prayer work many times, but I believe that it goes hand in hand with faith. I honestly believe that every prayer is answered, it just might not be the answer you are looking for. God has His time for things and does know better than us. Just because the answer was "no", doesn't mean it wasn't an answer.

It obviously works....God is a huge football fan who clearly favors one team over the other....Just watch the scoring athlete point to the heavens and pay tribute to the almighty for enabling him to scamper 40 yds unabated to the end zone. The last few years God has not been a huge Packers fan....I've agreed to sart tithing in the hopes to sway the Lord's attention back to the plight of the green and gold. In God and Farve we trust....We are truly screwed.
