Do animals pray for us?

[Artos]

This is a little twist from the thread that is asking if we should pray for animals.
In the book of Jonah, we have animals fasting alongside humans...Do animals pray for us?
Ha

 

[flaglady]

I would think it entirely possible that animals who are being ill treated might pray that their abusers will go away!!

 

[Artos]

Yes. I know they look to the Lord for food (Psalm 104 I think....)as well....

 

[IvoryRain]

I do not believe they pray for us, but I believe they can sympathize with our behaviors and go along with some of them.

... I believe they can sympathize with our behaviors ...

... needed to formulate thought into prayer <my opinion only> but some do have the ability to recognize our primal emotions of pain, fear, happiness, etc <again, my opinion only>.

I agree with you.

I know when I'm sick, my dogs are more quiet. Doesn't mean they are sorry for me, but perhaps they can feel something is off. Same as my cockatoo - if I'm mad or upset he's in riot mood and definantly can't be handled in most instances.

Animals don't have the ability to pray, but they aren't totally dumb either - and they can pick up on moods and feelings in their surroundings.

Well, only humans have a soul. Therefore only humans can have a direct relationship with God.
That's my opinion,but dogs are so sensitive to our feelings!
God bless!
