i agree you should pray several times a day and not just when you need something. God Bless You!!!!

Good point. I suspect its because we concentrate on the humanistic level of relationships rather than leave things in the hands of God. Also we don't have busybody church brothers and sisters looking into our lives.

You have this disease for a reason.  God wants to work through you to help other people.  Perhaps there's a purpose still for you in this world.  Sometimes people who are ill and still show love and tell of God's love and kindness can have the greatest effect on others.  That's the way it was for my grandmother who brought more people to believe in God while she was bedridden than she ever did before her brain tumor.  God has a wonderful plan for you, even if it's difficult to see through the pain.  Remember--it is only temporary, even though it seems forever.  I would suggest reading:  Psalm 38, and 91, and the story of Job (in the book of Job)

I would have to agree with you. Most people do not take the time to see all the great things that God did for them that day. Or that God is always with us , giving us a helping hand . However I can see all the things pointed out or Quoted in the Book of Revelations that are happening today. Maybe these people want nothing more then to be with Our Lord & Saviour

some people are blinded by sin.but all we can do for those people is pray for them every time we get a chance.just be nice and then maybe they will see god by the way his people act.\n                      God bless all of u

I do believe it is because we are living in a totally different world these days.  People are stressed, and sometimes they are crabby and just don't relize that they are the ones with the bad attitude.\nI also believe the devil and his demons are playing with us.  They can't make us stop believing in God, praying to God, talking with God or anything along that line, but the devil can interrupt our lives with TV, impatience, hatred, and etc...I think you get the picture.  So everytime I see someone who is being hateful, I smile and tell them to have a better day and go on.  Cut the devil out and you will see a change in people.\nJust don't become one yourself, a hater that is.

I lost a loved one on christmas day, came home from church that day an dwas told that a loved one have just passed away. i was ticked off because I was at church during that time asking "god" to help this person out during their time of need. \nSince then my resentment for pray and god has grown. \nIn fact I had started to question the concept of god and religion more than ever and then after a few years have realized that god does not exist and that religion is used to exploit the ignorance of people.\n\nThings happen in life, people die whether by illness, accident, or other situations. What should matter is keeping their memories in your heart and never forgetting the good time that you have had with your loved one. But also cheerish their advice that was given to you. \n\nIf there was a god both my prayers and yours would have been answered by "god"

Practicing the privilege of prayer yields abundant blessings.  Not only are we allowed to speak directly to the Creator of the universe through prayer, and often experience the excitement of seeing our prayers answered directly, but family devotions also prepare our children to raise praying families of their own.\n\nWhatever state you find your family in today, go pray about it together.\n\n"Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." - Romans 12:12

i felt bad that they had no one to turn to. i wont lie,i never did pray for them.but ur right,they need prayers and i now pray that people who are going through the same problems they did will not have to do that and get help sooner. everybody deserves a pray and the love of Jesus. thank u for putting this question up.

I understand where you are coming from.  My husband and I have been in the same situation for a while now.  All we can do is draw nearer to GOD, and trust HIM to provide the strength we need.  People do not always obey what GOD would have them to do, but we have to forgive them, pray for them and bless them.\n\nGOD BLESS YOU!

Yes, my uncle needs prayers. He's old with heart problems, skin problems, and arthritise.  He also is an atheisis (cant spell today, non-god beliver). . . so I pray for his spirituality also.\n\nMy step-grandpa needs prayers too. . . We're praying for his perpertual life with God, and rosary 9 more days. He was killed Christmas day in Union City California while sitting under a bus stop (the enclosed ones) and a drunk driver ran into the unit, the unit fell on my step-grandpa and crushed him.  I think he was 88 and very healthy.  His wife & five childreen survive him, so I guess they'll need prayers for strenght. . . but the Bible says that those who grieve will be comforted.  And lastly with this sorryful incident, we need prayers for the guy who was drunk, hit the bus stop and who fled the scene of the crime . . . he's been caught, and I belive it's his third strike. . . he's out.  What a waste. . .anyways it's only proper to pray for him . . . I'm the only one in the family praying for this guy. . . I'm too scared to mention it to the others, they are holding alot of anger toward him. Anyways, its only right to say this for the idiot... "Oh, my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, lead all souls to heaven, especially those who have most need of your mercy."

God says to pray for the needs of others and also for your own needs. God does not discriminate. He may answer your prayers by saying NO or Wait or it's not my will. He make me answering you by just little things EVERY DAY that you don't realize is an answer to it. God NEVER promised that we would get what we want..only what we need.  Only he can the future.   I am not sure what you are praying for but say for instance you were praying  for a new house..and you got that house.. Years down the line you can't pay for that house and it gets repossessed and your homeless.. God knows you can't afford a new house but sometimes he will give you your wish knowing that later in life you will realize he knew what he was doing. I use to feel the same way.."why is this person's life getting better and their prayers are being answered and mine aren't." (especially with the illness issue. ) I and my friends have prayed for years for healing for me...I want instant healing but God is doing daily healing for me and I believe what day I will be healed..EVERYTHING takes place in GOD'S TIME

Pray for them. Sometimes we don't know how to support someone because we feel angry or disagree with what they have done, and we should pray. God knows what the person needs, and when family can't help, it's in the Lord's hands.\nAlso, you can give different kinds of support. You can support the person, but you don't have to support the decisions they made.

Yes, my uncle is in the hospital dying of cancer and we have some family members already arguing over who gets what, that is so wrong, I don't want anything, but him to stay here or to be with God so he's no longer in pain, he served time in the army for many years, but has no life insurance and we have no clue how we are going to pay for his funeral when he pass's....this is to much stress ...pray for us...

Technically, we are asking the saints to intercede with God on our behalf, not praying to them. You are correct, though, most people don't get it and that is a problem. Most people go to church out of habit and just do things without thinking about them--not a good practice at all! There is a fine line between worshiping Saints and asking for intercession!
