Would you request a prayer from someone of a different religion to you?

[Dilbertian]

Some work colleagues have just set up a Christian prayer group. Although the group is specifically for Christians, they say they welcome prayer requests from people of any faiths, and they will pray for anyone who asks them to.

I have no objection whatsoever to this group or its aims. I'm just curious whether, if you are not Christian, would you ask Christians to pray for you? If you don't believe Jesus, for example, would you want prayers said for you in Jesus' name?

Would it work the other way around? Would Christians ask for prayers from Jews or Hindus?

When DM was gravely ill both Christian and Jewish friends offered up prayers for the family. Other friends sent messages of support. I was grateful whatever religion - or none - that we were in their thoughts and sending positive vibes/prayers.

Yes, and I have. Even as a person without a religion.

A thought or wish of goodwill for someone it’s the same no
matter the belief system.

I am pagan although I don't think my Muslim neighbour is aware of that fact. She phoned me up in tears when her elderly mother was in hospital and asked me to pray for her. I agreed to do it.

I'm not religious, but have had very beautiful experiences of being prayed for by people of different faiths at different points in my life. I've never asked anyone to pray for me, but people have offered. Once I was literally seized upon by an evangelical Christian acquaintance who'd heard I was having a tricky time, and who prayed over me in an extraordinarily dynamic and engaged way in the middle of a very busy public place (no consent obtained, neither for praying nor for manhandling me). When I fell pregnant with DC1, a friend's grandmother performed a Candomblé ritual for DC in utero. A school mum made offerings for my family in her temple every week one winter when we had a family bereavement.
I think that, even if I was religious, I'd still feel it was a loving thing for someone to do, even if we did not share a faith.
