Freepers hold PRAYERATHON until election day (link)

They have a time table and grid all set up for praying that God will make W win this election. Check out the link!

Sadly, I don't see much compassion for the poor,elderly, sick, and the "least" of these in society, like the gay/lesbians, minorities, overweight, or handicapped (forgive me for missing dozens more), let alone His beautiful Earth. W is trying to destroy it also, while padding the pockets of the energy companies and logging operations.

I do see a "church" in America however that sure does remind me a lot of what I read in the bible in Jesus' time and in Revelation.

My prayer, as a Christian resolves around the fact that our leaders look after those who need the most help. We aren't doing that, and arguably haven't done it much throughout our existence except the New Deal, and the Civil Rights and Suffrage movements.

God bless everyone, I respect your opinions even if you don't agree with mine. :) :) :)

1. We've had prayer/thoughts/vibrations threads before each debate --

and, considering the outcome, I hope we have an election thread ourselves! Given that early voting is underway, I think some DUer who's good at that sort of thing might go ahead and start a thread that could be kept kicked --

6. thank you for the info mom

well I guess it opened my eyes, what they're doing.

I will pray regardless, and would have anyhow, I guess every DU should have their own type of prayer, meditation or silent moment to hope for the best, and do the best in their life with what we're handed. I don't think many will sit by, however, if they see vast injustice like what happened in 2000, in Miami where the Bush groups were pounding down the election offices door to rant and rave. I hope that if things go bad, every Christian on here prays for non-violence. This election is by far the most raucous thing I've ever seen, it's just electrifying and tumultuous combined.


TAKE CARE!

(maybe the main moderator will ask for everyone to spend time thinking about the election in their own way on Monday evening)

[Was_Immer]

13. DeepModem Mom I have been a part of the prayer thread here at DU

and hope we have one for the election as well.

If anyone is up for creating one let me know, Message me or something, I most definately want to be involved!

2. Let them pray...

... to their false idol all they want. It won't make a difference. They're praying for falsehood, lies and more distress and misery.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

3. And I respect yours

as my belief is that all paths lead to God.

It is interesting that they are praying for a W victory. I also pray-that God, in Mercy and Compassion, take pity on our country and set it on the right path, the path of those who follow God's ways, not those who bring down God's wrath or go astray. Different words, but in the same spirit as your prayer.

God bless you and yours.

4. Blessed are the peacemakers

"You have heard that it was said, "You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be children of your Father in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet only your brothers and sisters, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect." -Mt. 5:43-48

Who delivered that one, Freepers? Oh... probably no one too important :eyes:

5. Good.............

maybe that will keep them busy so they won't be doing more destructive things.
I think their prayers are misdirected. They're not praying for the things needed to make this world a better place. They're praying for things that make THEIR world a better place, for them and them only. Pretty selfish, but what else would you expect from a Freep?

7. dumpgump

and I made stickers with the peacemakers verse on it! :)

21. Time to pray instead of keying cars,stealing yard signs,giving the finger.

You know,all the usual stuff those fools think will sway voters...

[Ruffhowse]

8. God will hear their prayers, and hear them for the self-serving,

self-rightous and selfish utterings that they are. God will not be pleased.

[LadyinRed]

16. Agreed...

"OUR" country the last 4 years:

Psalms 12:8
The wicked walk on every side when the vilest men are exalted.


Next Tuesday, WE, "All true Americans", take it back:

James 1:25
But he whoso looketh into the PERFECT LAW OF LIBERTY and continue therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of this work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

[praxiz]

9. I hope they pray a lot

so much they forget to vote :)

[Gore1FL]

10. Man -- so many prayers

Will God still have time to Give W. War plans and new ideas on who to kill?

[rot0r_head]

12. Selfishness and impiety abound

An unabridged example of The GOP Presents!: Christianity


I'll pray from 11 pm to 12 midnight every day starting 10-26-04 till election day 11-02-04 (7 days to election day)

Let's pray 1. for favor on our President.
2. for the black church and the Jewish people to
open their eyes
3. for the church of Jesus Christ to raise up for
righteousness.
4. for the spirit of confusion to come upon the
enemy
5. for landslide victory
Let's pray 1. against the spirit of ignorance
2. against the spirit of untiamerican
3. against voters fraud
4. against any weapon form against our President
and our country

Let's thank the Lord for victory. Amen.

Edited to add italics

Compare this to my previous excerpt from the Book of Matthew, if you will.

14. I've been praying for the past four years

that * will be a one-term president like his daddy!

18. Is a Prayer-O-Thon necessary if Shrub is God's Chosen Messiah?

If an omnipotent, omniscient deity has chosen the Chimperor to President of the United States, as guide and savior, is said God going to be swayed by a "prayer-o-thon?"

[OneTwentyoNine]

19. If they were praying for RimJob to upgrade that pathetic web site...

I could fully understand,but a timetable to make sure God puts Bush back in the WH? Bawhahahaha....

[prodigal_green]

20. I think their prayers may be drowned out

by the approximately 5.75 billion other prayers rising to the heavens from EVERY OTHER HUMAN (and possibly other creatures) ON EARTH.
