Do you belief in the power of pray?

Question

I was just wondering if the Billions of poor people do. People with no food and water, who have to watch Babies, Children, Adults dieing around them. While the world looks away. I wonder if they belief in the power or pray?? Or the familes who have severe disabilities in their family, and have to watch them suffer? Do they believe in the power of pray?.

Posistive thinking and pray are the the same thing.
Like attracts like, with positive thinking. Praying is different

Answer 1

Of course I believe in the power of prayer. I also believe in getting off my butt and doing something about the problems in the world instead of complaining or blaming something else.

Answer 2

I prayed once to know if I was on the true path. I ask for a sign. I asked that if I was on the right path, God would make it rain. It was a clear night, and in minutes the clouds rolled in and it rained. The rain only lasted 1-2 mins, but it was an answer. I have multiple experiences like that. Praying for things that are not spiritual usually are not expedient for us, and therefore rarely receive answers from God. Money, food and water, death, disabilities, diseases; these are all earthly things that matter little to our eternal happiness. Amazingly enough, most of those suffering from these ailments do believe in the power of prayer. Yet another modern day miracle.

Answer 3

Hundreds of millions prayed for your god to stop Hitler before he caused 30+ million to die during WWII and he did NOTHING. A simple little blood clot would have done the trick, say in 1934, but NOOOOOO. If this god of yours could turn a good woman into a pillar of salt for looking over her shoulder, why couldn't he answer the prayers to end evil. Either your god is heartless, powerless, both, or does not exist at all. Prayer does not work except as a mindless placebo.

Answer 4

As a former Marine infantryman and agnostic (with atheist dispositions) i would be certain that there is a presumption of theism interior the U. S. armed forces, even if if I by no potential skilled the rampant idiocy defined on your question, inspite of being subjected to varied christian fundamentalists. with reference to helping fellow troops under hearth, i do no longer think all and sundry knowledgeable as an factor to a unit might ever hesitate long adequate to evaluate the guy's well worth with reference to their religious ideals (or lack thereof). perhaps it is a armed forces situation.

Answer 5

Studies have shown there is no correlation between prayer and recovery after sickness; we know prayer doesn't work.

If people keep praying for stuff, some of it is bound to turn out the way they hoped, but you may just as well take the supernatural element out of it and replace "pray" with "hope".

Answer 6

I can't speak for everybody else. Me? I'm not a christian and don't believe in God in the sense the christians understand it but I do believe in the power of positive thought and I suppose that is essential what prayer is so yes I suppose I do.

Answer 7

Yes, some of the most spiritual, and in touch with God people I have met are the ones who have been through the imaginable. The Lord uses the weakest for the greatest.

Answer 8

For many, prayer is their only hope. And remember, all those things you mentioned are not the result of God's work. If you are familiar with the Bible you know that satan is referred to as "the god of this world". Our hope is not in this life but the next. Jesus said those who suffer with him will also rule and reign with him. I have witnessed many remarkable miracles that were the direct result of prayer. And not just the prayer of those involved in the situation but the prayer offered by those who wanted to help.
And much depends on which diety one prays to. As you may understand, there are many false gods in the world today. Prayers offered to any but the one true God are prayers offered in vain. Again, the Bible refers to the path that leads to salvation as being straight and narrow with few upon it. Conversely, the path to destruction is broad with many upon it. What do you suppose that means? It simply means the multitudes have not chosen the correct path in spite of the scriptures that say all will be given an opportunity to choose the road to salvation.
What about all those babies and others who are starving or being blown to bits or hacked to death by others in the name of their god? Well, as I said, that is not the will of the one true God. He provides peace and hope and contentment for his own. He also provides the opportunity for all who are willing to seek him to find him. About those starving babies... they are God's anyway and they will be far better off with him.
Disablities, illness, handicaps, accidents, disease? These are not the result of the one true God's love and compassion.
Before you discount the power of prayer you need to learn exactly what prayer is and to whom it should be directed.
Jesus said that he didn't come to bring peace to the world, he came to bring division. But he will provide all things to those who will seek the truth of who he is and serve him.
Are all faiths and religions right and correct? Of course not. Do all paths lead to heaven? Of course not.
We have an individual responsibility to seek the truth. It is up to each individual to find salvation. All it takes though is a love for the truth and a desire to know who God really is and he will provide all means to lead us to him regardless of who we are or where we live.

Answer 9

No. Prayer is a way for someone to feel like he's doing something, without actually having to do anything.

I'm sure that billions of people do it, though. Humans tend to be a superstitious lot.
