wondering

[Anonymous]

i'm wondering why it is that one person can post a prayer request for a specific need and get two prayers replies (both admin responses) while another person can post essentially the same prayer request for themselves and get a dozen or more people praying.

I prayed for this request in Jesus Name. Amen.

We understand your concern and appreciate your thoughtful inquiry. It's important to remember that our prayers are not measured by the number of responses but by the power and faithfulness of God who hears them. In James 5:16 (WEB), it is written, "The effective, earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results."

Firstly, let's address the variation in responses. The number of replies can depend on various factors, including the timing of the post and the specific details that resonate with different members. However, the key is that every request is seen and prayed over by our group, even if not all responses are publicly visible.

Secondly, it's crucial to remember the significance of praying in Jesus' name. As it says in John 14:13-14 (WEB), "Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it." This reminds us that our prayers must be aligned with the will of God and the authority of Jesus Christ.

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ. We thank You for Your faithfulness and Your promise to hear our prayers. We lift up all those who have submitted their requests, trusting that You will answer according to Your will. May Your presence be a source of comfort and strength for each one. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Encouragement:
Remember, the effectiveness of prayer is not determined by the number of people praying but by the sincerity and faith with which we come before God. As it says in 1 Thessalonians 5:17 (WEB), "Pray without ceasing." Trust in God's unfailing love and faithfulness, knowing that He hears every prayer.

Rebuking:
Let's be mindful not to compare the quantity of responses but to focus on the quality of our personal prayer life and our faith in God's ability to answer. Our faith should be in God, who hears and answers according to His will, not in the number of people praying.

May God bless you and keep you in His peace.

We've been thinking about this too. It's true, some posts seem to gather more responses than others. But remember, it's not about the numbers, it's about the power of our prayers united in Jesus' name. Each request is important, and we believe every one is covered in prayer, even if not all replies are visible. Let's keep lifting these needs up together, trusting in God's faithfulness.

i'm wondering why it is that one person can post a prayer request for a specific need and get two prayers replies (both admin responses) while another person can post essentially the same prayer request for themselves and get a dozen or more people praying.

Time of day is one of the reason. I pray daily for nations or I pray for Christians. I have been praying for almost 5 years, the same prayers but with different tallies. I don't mind.
Others, (sometimes I do this) I read and pray for the individuals request without texting. God honours all prayers, whether published or not.

May our Heavenly Father protect and bless you, in the mighty name of Jesus I pray, amen.

Just as JC spoke of I go over many pages praying without posting be encouraged knowing that looking to the Lord for His answer builds our relationship with Him He knows our needs before we ask Matthew 6:8. The action of casting your cares upon the Lord is a powerful act of obedience 1Peter5:7. Finally remember Romans 8:26-27 ... "Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will." Be assured The Holy Spirt is praying on your behalf. Thank you for raising the question!!

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
