This weekend I asked if people could pray for me and my health (I am in Congestive heart Failure). This site removed my request for healing prayer and took away my points before others could see my request. I wrote into the customer service telling them how we need to be be able to ask for prayer requests, and if others support me then prayer requests should not be removed. Can you please write in and support prayer requests with me? They need to know how important this is. Thank you all so much!!! God bless all of you!

Yes, you have my prayers. God bless you.
A word to the people who run this site:
It is your site, and you have the right to do with it as you please, but it is insulting and downright wrong to have removed her request for prayers. If you can't handle that, then you'd better take down the entire religious Q & A section. God be with you.

I'm sorry, but I won't help you get your prayer requests on this site. It's not that I don't care about your health, though. You see, the Bible tells us that whatever we pray for in the name of Jesus Christ will be given unto us. If you are a true Christian, then you can pray for yourself and you should be able to accomplish as much as God is willing to give. Two people praying for your health won't help it twice as much. Two thousand people praying for you won't make God do more for you. Therefore, it isn't necessary for you to ask for other people to pray for you (unless you crave attention) because you can heal yourself through your own prayer.
P.S. A study was done in the past year where two groups of people going into an operation were separated. One group was prayed for, the other was not. It turned out that the group that wasn't prayed for actually fared a little better than the group that was prayed for. So I'm not so sure it actually makes much of a difference anyway.

I'll be praying for you! You can also go to lots of Christian websites like the ones for Billy Graham and 'Our Daily Bread' devotional and send an email for prayer requests. God Bless and there are people praying for you right now! :)
PS - Landon H is wrong, this is what's called 'Intercessory prayer' when there are lots of people praying for you :)

I've seen other prayer requests besides yours. Plus on a Religious discussion board, I would thing prayer requests would be de riguer, accepted without any issue. Perhaps Y!A wants to set up a separate board for this, but this forum seems perfectly suitable to me.

Based on some of the strange questions I have found on here. I don't see how they could take down a prayer request.

I think that parying for each other when needed is an amazing thing--I will pray for you.
As for using yahoo! answers for prayer requests--they do have the right to make rules for usage--and as great as it would be to pray for each other, there are otherr bad things that could happpen when the rules are broken.
There are many great other ways of securing prayers--have you checked the web for prayer circles?
Try searching "prayer" or "prayer requests".

Why do you require assistance? Do you think that with many people praying you can change God's mind? What do you think happens when many people pray? If you believe you require assistance, does this mean that God's power is limited and He can't answer your prayer all by Himself?
It is a straight pipeline between you and God.
You pray. God will hear you. You may not like all of his answers, but he knows what is best for you.

Of course I will pray for you! Because in scripture it is written that you should, by prayer and supplication make your requests known to God and as you know "by His stripes you are healed."
