Let's see if prayer DOES work

[2pac Shakur]

Post a prayer here.
Then, keep the board updated on prayers being answered/not being answered. I'll start:

Dear God,

Thank you for everything you have given me. It is too much to list, but I appreciate it all. From my health, to my family, to my great friends on the RO.
Please help me to pass my exam in 2 weeks. Even though I spent too much time posting, instead of studying.
Please keep MB from leaving us any time soon.
And bless my cat.


In the name of the father,
The Son
The Holy Spirit
Amen.

I asked one of my coworkers, whom I considered to be close to god to pray for me to pass my exam last sitting. It didn't work. The timing might have been bad though; it was after I took the exam, but before results were released. I would assume that god could perform that type of miracle though; couldn't he or she?

He can do anything he wants, especially if you need gas or would like heart meat that doesn't decay, but only if you are not testing him. Asking for things you want is bad too, like passing a test - you should only ask for unquanifiable things like more understanding or compassion, and only if you are not testing or doubting him. God answers every prayer whether you notice he did or not (oops, did i mention?... except when you are testing him.)

God answers every prayer. A lot of them, "No."

[Wigmeister General]

May the L-rd bless you and keep. May He make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you. May He lift up His countenance to you and grant you peace.

Or sometimes - I have already given you what you need to complete the task.

[Dr T Non-Fan]

You mean, like IKEA?

Buru Buru, if prayer to G-d can transcend space, then why not time?

Prayer, one would think, were it effective at all, would be effective right up to the point up learning your score.


2P, I will be reachable. Is that a prayer answered, or ignored?

I've never noticed any reponse whatsoever to my prayers.

That's what I thought too! Maybe one of those close to god on this forum can explain to me why it didn't work. Maybe if I merely ask god for more "understanding"(as Mulan put it) of the material during the 4 hours that I am taking the test then god will help me out.

2Pac - Maybe you can use that approach as well.
