Get your prayer on...
Find a quite comfortable place and take time,
---make time---for God!
Read and meditate on God's revelations to mankind in the Holy Scriptures for this is truly listening to God...
-Psalms 119 vs 148-
My eyes are awake through the night watches, that I may meditate on your word.

Paladin,
The devil LOVES
secular humanism!
He wants to take God out of everything...including religion. But, WHO WOULD FALL FOR THAT NONSENCE!?!

CD,
I have had lots of answered prayer.
God gives us the desires of our hearts...
Take your requests to the feet of our King, Jesus Christ. He is waiting!
Maybe start with asking him to increase your faith.

With kindness I share, you are in the religion and spirituality section...Your "Id" is showing!- Freudian slip? You want it so badly...

This cry for assistance is not unheard but you are in the wrong place... Go some where alone, close your eyes, get down on your knees and let it all out to God in Jesus Christ's name! He already knows your thoughts, just come clean to him and ask him for his guidance... He is always there, he is everywhere.

Paladin,
your quote "the hands that help"~Col
IS NOT A BIBLE QUOTE!- I share this so that you do not confuse readers... That IS NOT the book of Colosians! It is some sad theory of a desperate hell bound man... Please becareful that you do not fulfill the prophesy that is written
"decieve the very elect"
*Hearing* Trusting *Believing
Jesus answered and said unto them, "Take heed that no man deceive you. ... insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. ..."

An earthly "national" day of prayer ignores the fact that a Christian's first allegiance is a heavenly government, God's Messianic Kingdom by Christ Jesus.
Jehovah's Witnesses believe that true Christians are "no part of this world". Thus, Witnesses pursue NEUTRALITY in political, nationalistic, and social controversy. The bible quite plainly teaches that Jesus himself refused to become involved in the secular controversies of his day, but instead devoted himself to preaching the "good news of the Kingdom".
The benefits of that Kingdom are permanent, while every human work can only benefit temporarily.
(John 17:14-16) The world has hated [the followers of Christ], because they are no part of the world, just as I am no part of the world. ...They are no part of the world, just as I [Jesus] am no part of the world.
(James 4:4) Adulteresses, do you not know that the friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever, therefore, wants to be a friend of the world is constituting himself an enemy of God.
(John 12:7,8,48-50) . . .Jesus said: “...You have the poor always with you, but me you will not have always. ...The word that I have spoken is what will judge [a person] in the last day; because I have not spoken out of my own impulse, but the Father himself who sent me has given me a commandment as to what to tell and what to speak. Also, I know that his commandment means everlasting life.

A national day for doing a ritual that produces no results what so ever, but to waste time?
Nothing fails with 100% consistency like prayer.
Sure you have lots of answered prayers. Lets see if you can provide empirical evidence these so called answered prayers were answered by your god or just coincidence. Lets see the evidence.
Not one of those links shows that prayers were answered by god. That link that says prayer has some affect on the ill is not a scientific study.

Whoops a fraud study that claimed prayer helps.
http://www.csicop.org/si/2004-09/miracle-study.html
You still have not one single shred of evidence that proves god answers prayers or that he is real.

"Praying" is a scam invented by the Romans who invented christianity to control their slaves for them (90% of the population in 313AD). The Romans wanted their slaves to act as robotic zombies, and "praying" was a scam to keep them from assuming they could think for themselves. There are many scams and terrors built into christianity to cause slaves to think that they could not think. All "good" thoughts were put there by god, all "bad" thoughts were put there by satan. No human could ever have an original thought, etc. Therefore, no slave could ever think of escape (bad thought). Learn more at: http://www.angeloftruth.com
If you ever have a conversation with god, it will be he who starts it, you cannot conmmand his attention at will. There are six billion other people out there begging him for a new Mercedes. Get in line.

And for those who do not pray, it's also the National Day of Reason. http://www.nationaldayofreason.org/ I hope both my neighbors of faith and my fellow nontheists make good use of the day. Many atheists will be donating blood tomorrow. Members of my Humanist community will join them. http://www.atheistvolunteers.org/
> The devil LOVES secular humanism!
I know you believe that, and I respect your right to believe it. I, of course, don't believe in a devil, but I do believe in helping my fellow man. You believe prayer has value and accomplishes good things; I don't, so I prefer to give blood tomorrow.
