What about the good people who are the subject of much prayer yet stiil have bad outcomes? And is prayer like a petition drive .:: things are going to be bad unless God gets enough “signatures” from concerned parties to step in and fix things …and if so what’s the magic number?

I was driving with a group of friends to go on an ATV ride. One of the people was having an anxiety attack and didn’t want to go. We got stuck in traffic and missed the tour. I was pissed. The person that didn’t want to go confided that she was praying the whole time we wouldn’t make it. She said it was an answered prayer. I said I considered that she put a hex on me. What about when one person”s prayer causes pain or distress to another??


Not trying to be a smart arse but I have a lot of questions about prayer

Well, Matthew 18:19 says it’s just 2 people praying needed.
“Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth concerning anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in Heaven.

John 15:7 and 2 chronicles 7:14 says just one person if you do it the right way.
“If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

“If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”




If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.



Matthew 21:22
And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.”

There was a large study by Templeton on prayer and sick people, and if they recovered. There was no difference in between the 2 groups, prayed for and not prayed for. But amongst the praying group the sick people who knew they were being prayed for recovered less often, than those who did not know they were being prayed for.
