You are too general in your accusation.
It obviously does not apply to everyone.
We must pray according to God's will.

No that's not true, I prayed for out pastor's son, but he died anyway, I know my prayers were heard the answer was just "no" I don't expect God to say yes to everything I ask, I can't see the bigger picture, I can't see years down the road, Only He can. I ask in faith, if the answer is no it is God's will, which I pray for in every circumstance.

No you say it was Gods will no one keeps quite about praying. God answers all prayer one way or the other. Quit trying to discredit prayer if you don't know what you are talking about.
Good Luck.

Ehhh, no. If someone dies who I have been praying for their healing, I must realize that I was probably praying out of my own desire. I accept God's will for life and death. God has all of our days numbered. He is due the praise in life or death.

How do you know that the person praying didn't pray that the sick one would go to Heaven? Sometimes, you need to pray for God's will to be done and not want you want. I have prayed for sick people at my church and yes, God has healed them, but if it were His will they'd go to be w/Him, who am I to be mad at Him?

I do ask for healing (for myself or others) but I prefer to close my prayer that above all that I would pray, that God's Will be done.
If the healing takes place, then it would be for His glory.
If it doesn't, I wouldn't want to pray against God's Will.
Hope that helps.

Well... according to me whether someone sick dies or doesn't depends on God... He does everything for the best. Maybe if that person didn't die, something horrible would happen.... or maybe they died because of some other reason
Everything happens for the good...

Interesting that they never pray for an amputee to regrow a limb.

I always pray that I will be able to glorify God through my actions.

They just say that if they don't get what they pray for it just means it wasn't the best thing for them. God answers them even if he doesn't. It's a foolproof system. No experiment will convince them prayer doesn't work, because they have all of the possibilities covered. If there's no answer, the answer is no. Couldn't possibly be that there was just no answer. Very sad.
