Urgent prayer needed

[Cluckingmad]

Have posted in the Christian prayer thread but would also like to highlight this issue here.
Hi ladies urgent prayer needed here, please pray that Jj gets the help her and her family need, not just for christmas but until her dh is able to return to work.

Sorry here

Can prayers for complete strangers be totally sincere and from the heart? Also, why isn't one prayer good enough for God - is there strength in numbers? If he is all powerful, why does he need so many people to pray? I find all these questions so hard. Not being fecitious - just can't get my head around the whole prayer thing.

Well yes prayers for stangers that I feel are in need are sincere from MY heart but I have not asked for a debate on this just asking for help in prayer, which I believe works

Oh no - I don't want a debate. I'm just wondering why it "works" when more people pray?

Will pray op.

Saturday, not the place for that question!

Saturday I will be happy to answer your questions another time but at this moment am to busy praying

God has his plans but He likes to know we care enough to ask. The more people who ask, the more He knows we care.

And I'm praying for her too.

Saturday, in this instance I see collective prayer as intercessory prayer, as a warfare tool. We are in a war - good v evil - and if a lone soldier fights/prays they're not necessarily going to make much impact. If a whole platoon fights/prays there's more heave-ho and you can get a better result.

it does depend of course - prayer is lots of different things and sometimes one person praying, with faith, will do it

I agree with Saturday up to a point though: that it is hard to engage when details are scant... though if you take it to God, he can show you how to pray.
