Can people of different beliefs pray together for the same cause? Or is praying together limited to one religion at a time? is it wrong for a christian to pray with a muslim to their own God for example a mutual sick friend?

Yes, they can. Why ? Because there is only one God and that is our Heavenly Father. In this world, people believes in different religions. Speaking about religion, it is a vast subject. All people pray and believe in different ways and customs. But most people never realise they have only one God. If there are many gods as much as religion is, then even the gods would have a fight there over religion and how to win people and they will not be able to control us nor the heavenly planets. All will be in disarray and trouble. The trees might crashes down on its own. Cars may hit each other and heavenly planets crashes one after the other. There is only one God. We can pray with a muslim, a hindu, a sikh or with any other people for someone else, say a sick, a poor, a tragedy all together in different languages, different customs and to different gods we believe. But our prayers go straight to the only one who created the heaven and the earth and all that was in it.

People of different religions can pray together for the same cause. Prayer is not a ritual, it represents a contact between humans and GOD.
So, prayer is not sitting in a certain position or doing certain movements, it's a continued contact with GOD. So different people from different religions can pray together for different causes.
When we understand prayer, we can do it together.
And at last we are all humans (Muslims or Christians or Jews or whoever), we are all created by one GOD.
So if we think deeply about this issue we'll find that there must be no barriers between eachother.
I support your campaign to pray together, by that we may have a better world that's full of peace and love.
GOD bless you
Sincerely
Randy

People can pray together and do pray together but if your a Christian and another is not from a Christian faith what does it really achieve. Unless your there showing the person of another faith that God is real and your prayer is answered. But I do not believwe praying with any religious people is benificial and can even work against you. How can you pray with those who have a different Jesus and who deny Christs deity

I know that in Christianity,there has to be a level of trust in The Almighty Creator if you are to get some kind of result. Even then, it is still His will. The critical mistake in having a religion (rather than faith) is that people tend to see The Holy Lord as some kind of celestial 'santa clause' who will give you everything you ask for, if you simply believe in Him. That's not how He works, and selfishness isn't something that He rewards.
That said, if you know how to pray without a drop of selfishness and according to the Lord's devine will, it doesn't matter who you pray next to. If you have the faith the size of a mustard seed.....remember?

There have been multi-faith services in recent years - they can be hard to work out but if we all come together and admit that we are all searching with no animosity towards the other then they can work. As for praying for sick friends, times of need are no time for conflict, at these times people are even more willing to come together and look for what they need and ask whoever they are going to ask.

God is omnipotent, omniscient and the other big O and I think he can decide. I say prayer at any time is good. I suppose I wouldn't pray with someone who prays to Satan etc, but if their God is anything like mine, He hears prayers and they really do work. Most people forget he has 3 answers just like our parents did when we were little: Yes, No and Wait.

Yes, they can pray together.
No, it won't make a difference. (Regardless of which or how many religions, prayer just plain doesn't work. That's why drugs and doctors are necessary.)
