I know some people who are constantly asking others to pray for them. And people do pray for them! But they never seem to reach out to pray for others.

This has started to really annoy me, and I know that is wrong of me.

Please pray for me to not be judgemental, but always be glad to pray for anyone who asks.

Hi may I kindly ask how you do know "But they never seem to reach out to pray for others."? I have to be honest this is something I have never unless I forgot thought about and does not bother me at all. The Father loves it when we ask.. its what love does.. love always gives.

Well, there is evidence that they are ongoing asking other people for prayers. There is no evidence that they are asking others to know what the others concerns are that need prayer.

There is no evidence that they are praying for others, and they never mention any prayer needs but their own.

Again, I realize that this is a problem for me personally. And I’ve been praying about it.

In Christ I love you Lorica! You are doing an incredibly important job of praying for persecuted Christians across the world (8000 Christians martyred a year according to a US Christian institute(CSGC -Gordon Conwell Institute) as you know. 1 000 000 since 2005 according to FOX News. )
And thank you to all the prayer partners on this forum for all your prayers for any and all needs of our brothers and sisters!
I saw a documentary on DiscoveryLife and History channels about the medically proven (with before and after X Rays) healing of Bruce Van Natta by a Christian prayer warrior.
Bruce Van Natta's damaged small intestine tripled -3X- in length after the prayer. It was also witnessed by a top US surgeon who has been on call for a former US President! Van Natta's miracle by prayer is triply proven with reliable, multiple eye-witness testimony and indisputable evidentiary X Ray, and doppler imaging documentation from a US university hospital!
( See book "The Insanity of Disbelief " by journalist Max Davis.)
As you know Lorica, by praying for all the Christians and Christian supporters that need help on this forum, you are:
1) glorifying the Father , Jesus and the Holy Spirit most importantly.

2) You and all our dear sister and brother prayer warriors here, are really having a truly positive impact for needy Christians. Prayer in faith and in Jesus's most beautiful name works! It really does- I have seen it with my own eyes-and so have you no doubt. (But remember God does use medical docs to heal us too, as you know.)Our dear fellow Christians-many are children- and Christian supporters in the USA and every country in the world desperately need our prayers!

3)As you know heaven is not a socialist place; Jesus said we will get eternal rewards! All the prayer warriors here will be rewarded super greatly! You are all doing an amazing and fantastically important job for the Kingdom of Christ!
Jesus and our Great Father and the Holy Spirit are rejoicing about your faithful prayers-and so are the heavenly angels! And of course so are the Christians and Christian supporters in need! They are all rejoicing now in heaven . And in heaven even after the return of Christ! Your prayers will be remembered forever!

This prayer forum -and CF forum in general-are greatly glorifying our Almighty God. You all
will see and learn of the results now, and in heaven-that is guaranteed by Jesus Christ!

P.S. I have studied the miracles from Bruce Van Natta. I don’t watch TV, but I heard that his story was featured on the discovery channel, and another popular channel.

One of the doctors, then an atheist, who was planning to do some follow up surgery on him, was interviewed. He said that when he opened up his patient and saw the new intestines that he used some expletives and threw his surgical knife against the wall. Pretty funny.

Since you got just a little bit off topic, I wonder if it would be OK for me to do so even more.

By far my favorite evidence of miracles is seen in the Shroud of Turin. If you’ve heard that the shroud was proven to be in medieval forgery based on some highly questionable and sketchy carbon 14 test in the 1980s, well those result have since been thoroughly debunked.

The shroud is the most scientifically studied artifact on the planet, in history. There are so many videos on YouTube about it, but my favorite is the one by. Brian Cray.

The shroud contains pollen that is only found in Jerusalem in the spring. It contains marble particles on the feet of the image which are also only found in Jerusalem.

Scientists say there is no way they can explain how the image got there since it was not created with paint, or any other known medium. It even has x-ray qualities when studied with computer equipment, which show dentition and bones. And so on and on.

Prayer should be offered by those that can bear it, if you are asking then you must feel weak, if you are praying then you must feel strong. Both are in the body of Christ.

If you are praying and never ask for prayer what is stopping you? And if you are asking and not praying you may feel weak and to that i say "We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves." Romans 15:1

I know all that, and other advice that people have given me.

But my request was to have a right heart, not just understanding. And I have definitely been feeling less concerned about others responses or lack thereof.
I am sorry

Well why this is in the prayer wall.. it will just make many Children of God feel guilty and condemned which Christ died for. Don't let anyone still your joy. The only one that has the right to tell believers what to do is the king of kings and lord of lord Yeshua Jesus Christ and He only does it if we are open willing and He never will make you feel guilty or condemned. So know where the voice is coming from.

See in the word it says we are not here to please man only Him. So no offense. I will praise God still at times ask for prayer and then maybe some times reply to prayer threads. I will not do something to make man/woman feel good for its not about them sorry again no offense.

Once more with feeling, I already know what people are trying to give me advice about.

My prayer was not for advice. My prayer was for my heart to be right as I said I already realized I needed correction.

And as I said in an earlier post, apparently the right kind of prayers have helped as I am not feeling concern anymore.

I know that my concern for my heart may seem like a little thing to some. But to the lord, it is huge, for we are to do all things in love.
You are right that conditions of the heart are not little things, and I am honored to have the opportunity to pray :praying: :praying: :praying:

I pray that God would give you a spirit of generosity and compassion toward people who don't give back.
God sometimes work through us to strengthen us to do His will. Sometimes Christians go through difficult times where the focus seems to be on them, but ultimately God will do a great work in them to help many people.

1 Corinthians 4:5, “Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come (in this present life also), who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.

God bless and may the Mighty Hand of God grant us Love, Peace, Strength and Revelation in Jesus Christ!

I’m learning a big lesson. I also need prayer to not Judge and have a right heart towards all. Although we know scripture, there is a process of growth, and prayer helps. I apologize as I need help in this very area also.

May you be strengthened mightily in Jesus name!
