Last week I asked (on this board) for everyone to pray for world peace. This week we have a cease fire. Did our prayers cause the cease fire, or promote the cease fire, or have any effect at all? I think there is a God who listens and I know our prayers didn't hurt the situation, but did they help? I hope so! what do you think?

Not a chance. It's all about politics. Read about it, and you'll see that whatever you may have done here, has no bearing on what happened out there. The cease fire results from political negotiations and conveniences for the parties. Not from wishful thinking, which is commendable, but ineffective in the actual world.

I think prayer works! I always pray for what I want and then I add if it is God's will. I want God's will to be done in all things, because I trust Him and know that He is in charge and knows better than I do about what is best in all situations.

Yes, of course He answers prayers and I'm sure He did answer yours, but that being said, there is no doubt whatsoever that the wheels of the Revelation are set in motion....the final world conflicts as laid out are inevitable....I'm sorry, but I believe this is a very temporary peace. God Bless You.

YES, YOU ARE RIGHT,
AND YOU ARE SPECIAL FOR CARING,
PLEASE DON'T EVER STOP
EVER,
I WILL JOIN YOUR PRAYERS (I ALREADY DO PRAY FOR PEACE) and for the whole world,
and for us in America, there is so much hate, turmoil, resentment, and unnecessary pain,, right here under our
own sight,, lets pray for specifics as you did, for man and woman to get wisdom, lose anger and hatred, and be able to forgive one another, and Love thy neighbor.
