I'm sensing... A bit of increased hostility. Oh well, it happens. In response to someone arguing about waifus earlier
How dos't thou figure?This looks like a lack of tolerance to me.
I can see where praying with someone can provide emotional support, but the idea of "praying for someone" just seems like an empty promise. That's my issue with the idea of "praying for someone," is that it often comes off as empty and lazy. Even though praying with someone doesn't really fix the problem, at least they are there to give emotional support and a human connection that is needed when dealing an issue.i dont mind it. i mean, if someone says "ill pray for you", that means thats what they can do for you. they cant get you out of your problem or dilemma. saying "ill pray for you" means that they wish the best for you. thats pretty nice.

I was being silly and bastardizing Olde English, I was asking "Why would you say that?"English is not my native language, i don't understand your message. I apologize.
Excellent example. That really extends much further than prayer but yes, you're exactly rightSo found this. Basically, your prayers to someone mean nothing if there is no action to back them up.
The more effective kind of prayers are not "Please help them" but "What can I do to help?". But then if you can't get out and do more than pray, such as if you are really poor or the like, the recipients have to be willing to accept your prayer. If God is real, and you deny his help, you can only blame yourself, not those who tried.So found this. Basically, your prayers to someone mean nothing if there is no action to back them up.
So... The most effective form of prayer is self-reflection followed by direct actionThe more effective kind of prayers are not "Please help them" but "What can I do to help?".

"Self-reflection" assumes that God isn't giving you ideas or recommendations.So... The most effective form of prayer is self-reflection followed by direct action
I'm not saying that that's not the right way to go about it, but given that everything as a result of that stems from human consciousness and action, I don't know if I'd classify that as "prayer" so much as "meditation"
Correct, which you can't prove is the case 100% of the time, even if a god (Christian or otherwise) were to give guidance on occasion"Self-reflection" assumes that God isn't giving you ideas or recommendations.
