hey...since god surely cant handle his onslaught of prayers all by his lonesome....lets pray to mary or some other dead person to wait on queue for us. better yet...lets get a mess of people here on earth to pray for our need too...because certainly god is a fickle god, and his intentions can be changed, if only we can convince him with sheer numbers! how else will he know how much we MEAN it and how badly we NEED it?

yes i beleive god has everything under control too. i was trying to make a point. that he is able, to hear us.asking for intercession from others, dead or alive, is unneccesary, and shows a LACK of faith in our own powerful connection to our maker.

You dont need to petition God and he is not fickle,he knows what to do more than we do and has everything under control

...I appreciate it when others pray for me, but there is no way God will can ever be "worn out"
....You better do some more study - your God is too small.
... God needs no help from Mary or anyone else...He is infinite, we are finite. He owns the cattle on a thousand hills; He spoke and the worlds were created. He upholds everything by His power. He is eternal, all-knowing, holy, righteous, loving, and forgiving. Any decision He makes always proves Him to be right, true, and holy.

To begin with your prayers are not heard unless you are a Christian. Study these scriptures and see what you think. To become a Christian:
1. HEAR - Romans 10:14 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?
2. BELIEVE - In Mark 16:16, Jesus said “He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.”
3. REPENT - Luke 13:3 I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.
4. CONFESS CHRIST - 1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
5. BE BAPTIZED - Romans 6:3-4 do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
6. CONTINUE TO BE FAITHFUL - Jesus said in Matthew 7:21 "Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.”
Send me a note if you have questions. I am anxious to hear from you. Have a Great week.

"But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways." (James 1:6-8)

God's got it all under control.
If you've asked him for something and it seems He didn't hear you..........that means he's waiting to see how serious you really are or.......His answer is just plain "No".
