Praying for someone, other than family and friends...

oh, i do pray for wisdom to these people... i hope they will decide for the better welfare of their people, and of course for the better country that they serve, i pray that my friends would be happy with their work and family too, and i wish the same for people and couples i see in the street... i have even prayed for one couple i saw and wished they will never be put to the test of faithfulness. :D

that's true... Sometimes there were things that has to be done, anyway where we would first have to see the bad things before the good things done. :D But then that is right... of course... We have to still pray for all those we love, all our leaders too so they would make a right decision and that we would all have the benefits... :D

wow. i feel that this person really deserved a prayer and that whatever they are hoping for will be granted to them. these people who makes a difference in someone's life changes people and keeps us grounded and hopeful that God does use people to help us and make us know that he is always there.

hi MissPiggy, thank you so much, yes for your response.. Yes, we all hope that we are able to send over some of the hopes we have to everyone that needs them and so we would then be giving them the kind of prayers they do need.

You're right. God does work in a mysterious ways. He helps us through someone else and in the same time, teaches us a lesson. And yes, I said Amen to your wish too. I also hope that those people would get what they're praying for. And that God will always be with them.

It was hard to be in war, the horrors of the stories i have read, i never really wish to be in such a situation. I really never wished to be in such a position... And yes i am praying for peace all the time, for peace and for everyone here... We can only do nothing, really except share our love to the world through our prayers.

hi there axlrate, that is the truth, we do really need to be able to share that part of us, towards others... give them the kind of prayers that they so needed. the truth is that we need to give prayers to others more and as often as we give the same prayers to ours

Yeah, that's a given for us people to that what is needed to do, if you want to help, then you can able to help, you can do a lot of things to help, and one of the best thing to help is to pray for others that needed the most of help, and God will be the one who will arrange of everything in a mysterious way. Its always a matter of choice for every people to help, if you know your part in this world, then you know how you can help and what to do to help. Actually I also watched some documentary about youngsters called "bulders" means they pick up blocks of stones, (I don't know if that spells right) and I'm amaze about there principles in life, despite of the hardships of there life, you can see hope in there eyes and the words they speak is not usally in negative, but you hear more of determination instead of complaining, and believe me they really inspired me. :)

hi there my friend. that is really true!! :D whenever we pray for people we also do pray for ourselves even more. the thing is we always are like this, we know that we want to help everyone, we know we do want to be sharing the blessings. :D and most often, we are only capable of doing this when we share our prayers to them.

thank you so much for your response. I do hope that all of us would join hands in prayers to those we love, people always do need someone to always be with them. afterall. :D

hi there secretbear. :D sometimes we do meet people and when we look at them, we just know we need to pray for them.. for them to either see something important in their life, to be guided.

hi cowgirl. thanks for your response. Im sorry about the bad things happening at your place. the tornadoes to be specific. I sure hope everything is well now for you and for most americans. I wish to be praying for those who needs it the most as well.

hi shellyann, thank you for your response! Continue to pray for others as well! =) life is wonderful when we are able to share our faith through prayers.

hi dorannmwin, it is good to hear about your feeling the need to pray for others as a way to pay it forward. it does not do harm to us and it would even help us, right? =) i hope you would be able to do more of praying for others too... =)

thanks introvertshy for your response. apologies for the super late response from me hehe(i was rather a little distracted). But anyway, its true though sometimes if we pray with all our hearts we are of course helping others as much as we want to be helping ourselves.

that's good though when you are the kind who would be always ready to pray and not fight the urge. that is really what we should be doing. the thing is.. it is one thing to pray for someone and one thing to help them with all we can, but of course the intention is always in there.

hi there ardoy. I have really think as what you say as well. We sure are able to be more and do more with people joined hands bowing down to prayer. :D

Oh, I see. I am sure there must be something that has happened, causing you not to trust in the power of prayers. my hope still is up that you would still consider. Prayers helped me lot in times of trouble and it actually has become a security blanket for me and made me stronger and more positive. I would pray for you juggal. anything is possible.

@juggal: Hello juggalOXx420, I also been on stage of my life before that I thought praying is nothing, like what you are stating that you just don't see the point. I also told this to myself before, "what's the use of prayer? It doesn't give me what I want... such a waste of time!". But things get become upside down. Prayer is very important to every person, it's a opportunity to call and talk to God personally, where you can open up and surrender everything to HIM. You can ask GOD everything you need and HE will give you what is good for you. GOD BLESS you...

It is important that you have a daily dialogue with God. Pray not only for your loved ones but extend your prayers to whole human race. Pray for peace in your country and the whole world. The world is being bombarded from one catastrophe to another...prayer is the most powerful tool nowadays. An awareness of God's presence gives us strength to face adversities.

that is wonderful. I am sure you also felt better, and really great after you have experienced praying for someone, even if that person is someone you are not close with.

hi buchi, its good to have you in the discussion, and participating with us... of course there are quite a lot of times when i would not be able to say a little prayer for someone and would be limited to family and close friends... i would still feel the need to pray as i know if i am unable to help in other ways, my prayers would have done big things for them.

thank you Philip. God moves in mysterious ways, and there are a lot of ways for us to get closer to him. We can always pray and have a conversation with God, and we can also sing and glorify him, we can also be a friend to someone who needs us and that way, we are able to relay to people that we are used by God to be someone that he has sent for others. Godbless your kind heart and i am praying that you will always be capable of giving and sharing more prayers for people you love and even to those you barely know.

thank you queen for your response.. =) this is what we need, really that people unite in things we can do for each other, and not break each other.

talking about people we don't like... in prayers, well i have done this and have included them in my prayers. I prayed that i would lose the anger, and the hatred i have for those people who have purposely hurt me. it is not easy, the mere mention of their names sends chills up my bones, but then... i guess it is something we must be able to do and it will free us as well from the burden that we have. =) thank you lovingmybabies!
