I have one niece who prays on Facebook every day ... Which normally wouldn't bother me except that she does it in such a way as to show everyone who reads it what an amazingly wonderful and pious Christian she is, unlike all the other heathens in her life and how the only reason she has the strength to get through her day is because she says all these prayers on Facebook. Evidently God surfs the interwebs in search of the holy. If that were one of my friends, I'd be sorely tempted to post a simple comment: Matthew 6:5-6. 5 “When you pray, don’t be like the hypocrites. They love to stand in the synagogues and on the street corners and pray so people will see them. I tell you the truth, they already have their full reward. 6 When you pray, you should go into your room and close the door and pray to your Father who cannot be seen. Your Father can see what is done in secret, and he will reward you.
