Hello Teamliquid
I've decided I will be spending 2 days in prayer & fasting
I believe in God, that what I ask him, if it is according to His will, will happen.
Matt 7:7 (Amplified Bible)
Keep on asking and it will be given you;
keep on seeking you will find;
keep on knocking [reverently] and [the door] will be opened to you
I will be praying for my family and friends & many other things.
For the past 5 years, Teamliquid has been a part of my family.
I want to give back by praying for any prayer requests that some of you guys might have.
It can be anything that is on your heart that you are worried about, anything at all.
You can write it in the comments below or send me a PM.
I will read them in 12 hours, and start praying for them then.
Please show some respect
Please bear over with this blog if you don't like it
Please do not make this blog a discussion on religious matters
I will be praying for you Teamliquid
Thank you

I'm sorry, but why don't you pray for/help the 1.7 billion people living in morbid poverty?I think they're in dire need of help.

might as well do something meaningless for someone that doesn't need it as for someone that does need it.

True words.I just didn't mean to disrespect the OP(as I believe prayers have absolutely no effect).

Pray for The Prescott family, who recently lost their daughter Sam to brain cancer two days ago. She was fifteen years old and lived in my neighborhood, I never really knew her but her family needs it. <3

As the priest in my church said last Sunday: A prayer in itself won't help. If you really want something to chance you need to involve yourself in it. And this is most effectively done for those who need it in your direct environment.
Even if you live in the richest neighborhood there are still hidden problems. Having a prayer dedicated to you isn't imo a prerogative for the millions you can't help, and won't hurt anybody (if you don't believe in prayer why should you care if somebody prays for you, and if you do, knowing somebody prays for you can help you just the tiniest bit, even if the prayer in itself doesn't do anything). So if he feels himself at home here at TL I think it's great if he prays for somebody who needs it. But (imo) he also needs to try to make this a "better" place by showing involvement and a good posting history and if he puts his heart into it why not?

Please pray for the 6 million children that die every year of starvation. Maybe you will prove a stronger wizard.

Can't he pray for both? Or is there a 1 prayer a month limit or something?

I care because his statement, "I believe in God, that what I ask him, if it is according to His will, will happen," is justification for ignoring all problems. Maybe you haven't experienced the horrible consequence of such a belief yet.

I like how the guy asks for a little respect and gets all this crap.

Instead of praying for two days, go volunteer at a soup kitchen.

You mean like how religion seems to make people happy too? I am not religious the least bit, but you seem extremely ignorant.

Good luck, and I like your quote, my girlfriend is in a C.S. Lewis class at her university.

Yes, ignoring problems instead of dealing with them does tend to make people happy. It is safe and easy. Sometimes the problems are overwhelming and you don't have the ability to help at all, and that is okay. But believing that if you close your eyes, all the problems will solve themselves is harmful.
What exactly am I ignorant of?

How terrible that people just reject the prayer. Even if you don't believe it, don't just press your hate onto it. If you want to diss a religion, just do it in your head or something because in all honesty religion arguements are stupid due to no one believing in what the other believes XD

It's a nice sentiment but I don't see wishing as "giving back" to the community. It's one thing to write a blog about how much you like TL/ what it means to you but to claim like your doing it a service somehow by praying is something I don't understand.
