Do you pray ? Does it work ?

"I, Jesus, have decided to love you. That decision is infinite. It is filled with all the ramifications of eternity. It is a decision that never wavers.I always follow through on My Love Decision even if it does not feel like it. My Love does not depend on feelings. It is there through emptiness, through fullness, in all the variations in between. I share My Love emotionally at times or when it is in your best interests I give My Love, but you may not be aware of it".



"I desire to have a deep loving personal relationship with each soul because I created you as an extension of My love. Once you are with Me in heaven, you will experience such a personal love for Me that you will even become one with Me. This life is a test of your faith in Me, and a place to work on perfecting your love for Me. Every time that you visit Me in Adoration or receive Me in Holy Communion, you have a small taste of heaven, and My deep personal love for you.”



“When I ask you to pray I simply ask you to confide in Me, in your own simple words. In your own way. In your private thoughts. I hear everything. I see all. I feel what you feel. I am with each of you standing beside you, just waiting for the day when you will finally surrender to My Call.You have nothing to fear from Me for My Love for you will overcome any darkness, which keeps you distant from Me”.



Jesus Christ

It works if you really belive in God and you're quite sure that He will make it true soon.

yeah well i do some times

Yes and Yes. I am a believer. Prayer is an amazing, wonderful thing!

Be careful what you wish for

Even if it did not ... I'd still pray

Not as often as I should. But, yes, it works -- as long as I'm not praying for a Rolls-Royce.

No to both questions.

I don't pray because it doesn't work and there's no one to pray to that can make them come true.

Yes, I do pray. And yes it does work. There have been so many time's that I have prayed and some many time's God has helped me that I cannot remember them all. One thing I have learned is there is NOTHING God cannot fix. I have also learned just how slowly and how fast God can answer a prayer. A few Year's ago my parent's had spilt up, and my mother had said to me, "I am going to be all alone." I cried when I heard her say that. So that night I asked God to send her a new Loving husbend. About a week later she met my step Father. (Who we both Love very much.) And they were married a year later and are going on their fourth anniversary. I have never seen my Mother so happy, So thank's again God. :)

I am an atheist, so no, I do not pray nor do I believe it works.. but to each their own.

Yes, it does work. Sometimes I don't get what I asked for and, often, I see later that things would have been worse for me if I had. We don't always realise the consequences of what we ask for, but God does.

"Praying is asking to an invisible force that the laws of the universe be annulled in behalf of a single petitioner confessedly unworthy..." - Ambrose Bierce

“If the gods listened to the prayers of men, all humankind would quickly perish since they constantly pray for many evils to befall one another” - Epicurus ..(Sooooo true...)

“And here's something else, another problem you might have: Suppose your prayers aren't answered. What do you say? "Well, it's God's will." "Thy Will Be Done." Fine, but if it's God's will, and He's going to do what He wants to anyway, why the f**k bother praying in the first place? Seems like a big waste of time to me! Couldn't you just skip the praying part and go right to His Will? It's all very confusing.”
― George Carlin

Indeed, just look at all the harm both sides prayed would befall on the other in the last campaign... And they describe themselves as very religious god-fearing people too... amazing isn't it? ;o)

but not every prayer is answered

surprisingly it has.

god always listens to our prayers

no . doesn't work with me

Proud to say it does! But you have to have complete faith in God.

Hard work is the only thing that works

Unless you were born in a rich family who doesnt care about merit at all.

prayer like meditation does work. prayer is only as effective as your remebrance of God
mediation is only as effective as your remeberance of your god center, equaliburm

I have better things to do.

No and no.

I used to pray. I stopped when I was never getting the answers I needed.

It has always worked for me.

I feel better after my prayers through Jesus Christ to our Heavenly Father, God Almighty Jehovah.

... I don't because it doesn't "work".

I think and ponder about things.. Praying never gets anything done. It is jsut a device of comfort for oneself and can help clear ones mind. But praying will never get anything done. That's why it works for some and for others it doesn't.
Praying before meals is awesome because you show that you are thinking about other people and that you are thankful for what you have.
But honestly at some point you have to get off your ass and make a difference. So take your hands away from praying and start clothing, feeding, and helping others in need.

Make a difference

Sometimes it does. It can't hurt. Best wishes, amigo.

yes and no it doesn't

yes, I pray and I don't know if it works.

Yes and when God chooses for it to.

Nope And Nope, No One Is Listening, When I Was A Kid I Prayed Asking For Help And No One Came And Helped Me In Anyway, So No. I Will Never Pray Ever Again.

Ephesians 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching there unto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.

Philippians 4:6 Be anxious for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

Colossians 4:2 Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving.

James 5:15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

James 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that you may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
-----------------------

If God chooses to answer us right away, later, or not at all is not for us to decide.

Ask and you shall recieve. But what people have to remember is its done in God's timing and will. It might not come as soon as you ask for it.

yes it really does, just be mindful of what you pray for

it works for me,i feel better.
