I see many good answers already. I see that none of you know what I am hinting at though. I was talking about singing one song of praise and worship is more powerful than 1000 prayers. Have any of you heard this before? This could mean if you hear a modern song of worship by your favorite Christian Group for example, you sing along with them, that is as poweful as 1000 prayers. It all depends on how powerful the lyrics of worship are to determine how powerful the song's prayer measure is. If you sang along the Christian song "Light of the World" by Matt Redman, you would send out 1000 prayers with singing along with this song. This song is about Jesus being the light of the world. I hope it helps answer this question.

Anything you do for God and Jesus, even giving people points in yahoo answers for a question concerning God interests God. God looks at our intent and if our intent is to help others and in addition to helping them learn giving them points - because yahoo offers them - then God loves that. I know it for sure.

I know the answer, because I looked at your responses to other questions, as you suggested. I can't think of a better one. But I'm glad that you are looking for the most "elegant" response, rather than the one that happens to agree with what you are thinking. Open-mindedness can be powerful too.

Get up off your knees and DO something!
Having read your additional information by way of the answer, I have to tell you, I worry for you. I worry for you and all people who think that living a decent life is about points, and prayers, and rules from an old book and faerie tales and fables and "miracles"...
Just go out, bring pillows to a homeless shelter, dontate time to an animal shelter, cook for the hungry. That's what Jesus would have wanted, not Christian rock groups and tallying up your points.

Giving one can of soup to a hungry person.
A hug.
Giving a suit to a poor person who is out trying to get a job, and needs to go to job interviews.
One round of antboitics.
Saying "I love you".
A vaccination.
Any one ACTION is more powerful than a MILLION prayers, no matter how small the action.

Without looking at other answers first, I believe that one ACT of kindness or forgiveness is more powerful than 1000 words uttered to "God"

Repent.
Repentance (turning from sin to God with one's heart) is the first step to a real relationship with God.

Ask Bush, Jr. what he means when he says God talks to him over a cellphone/whatever?
God told me to invade Iraq, Bush tells Palestinian ministers
