The power of prayer

[Anonymous]

Do you truly believe in the power of prayer for a love one in critical health care even if the person hurt you in the past? Have you witnessed a recovery and believe in the miracle of Our Lady of XX?

🙌 yes

What do you have to lose by believing and praying under such circumstances? Try.

What kind of god chooses to intervene based on whether or not people pray? That sounds like a manipulative, rather narcissistic god. Why would any god need to be convinced to step in?

Prayer helps the person praying, as a kind of meditation. But it doesn't do anything or change any outcome.

Christians believe prayer is relationship with God, not a vending machine for wishes.

Correct, God isn’t a genie. It’s an incredibly shallow perspective on God at least from a Christian perspective and shows you don’t understand what prayer actually is.

Moreover, when you pray to God just to “get stuff” you are using God, not loving God.

Try it anyway. You might be surprised at what happens as a result.

Yes I witnessed a miracle of prayer with my own eyes. A death brought back to life.

Thou shall not ask questions. Just....believe.

Absolutely not.

No, and it actually annoys me when people said prayer for something like that worked.

So when you pray for a sick person, you should not expect her to get better, right?
