pray for me not

goodoldboy · Aug 28, 2004

I would like to make a request that nobody pray for me. Please, I don't need your appeals to the Almighty. When you utter your nightly prayers, don't let my name trespass on your vocal chords. Your slumber should not be preceded by your well-wishing for my well-being, especially if it involves your spiritual authority. The creator and of the heavens and the supreme benefactor of humankind need not be bothered by your petitions for my benefit.

Thank you.

Hey you sound just like apostate abe did you change your name?

That is mighty sweet of you to not want to bother our creator but he don't mind being bothered.

Yeah, people keep suspecting that I am masquerading as apostate abe. I can't imagine why. I am flattered to be mistaken for a man of such incredible brilliance.

You didn't pray for me, did you?

well maybe if you hadn't started this thread, i would have never have even heard of you...but since you have made yourself known to me (ok, you didn't neccessarily intend to do so), and since i pray for all of those whom i interact with on message boards, you get my prayers whether you like it or not....

You don't have to be Freud to work out that this is reverse psychology eh ?

Some people make me happy and smile and apostate abe is one of them you are another.
Since I believe you and apostate abe...
You don't have to be christian to make a christian laugh.
I usually say hey God check this guy out what do you think does he need me to pray...lol

He doesn't consider it a "bother". And now I almost feel that I have to.

Praying for you---------------whoever you are

daddyzgurl7 · Aug 28, 2004

u know u saying to people dont pray for u is like really silly cause u know if u ask people not to do something they seem to do it even more well here it goes ... ....in Jesus Christ name

to bad

Reepicheep · Aug 30, 2004

Nope, your name is not trespassing my vocal chords. My mind is praying for you.

brinny · Aug 30, 2004

Now aren't you glad you started this thread goodoldboy? I couldn't help myself...I'm praying blessings on you as I type this.

now we're all gonna give you a prayer hug

Still praying

Silent Enigma · Sep 1, 2004

Ha!

Goodoldboy had to have done this for attention. And it worked, of course. I'm surprised that the thread didn't get deleted, after all, this forum isn't for non-prayer requests.

crossrunner · Sep 1, 2004

That's ok. I'm praying for him anyway. If attention's what he wanted, fine. God still loves him.

newlite · Sep 1, 2004

i guess he found a better way to get attention then me...me i drove everyone away...him, well now hes got himself a praying army...

e8514 · Sep 1, 2004

As believers-we have to lift you before the Lord. I will pray God will sends his blessings over you.

Caprice · Sep 2, 2004

Interesting way to get people to not pray for you... I've never seen someone specifically ask (in real life or online) to not be prayed for.

hopper · Sep 3, 2004

Hey gob (say, did ya notice that's just one letter off ?),

hopper here! I decided ta honor 'ur request. But I asked nobody, and he said he was a prayin' for you, and your 'not' too. I hope you both a get ta feelin' better. I can a see you'n loved up by lots o' folk here, already. So take care, and maybe we'll a see ya by tha watering hole latter.

Angeldove97 · Sep 3, 2004

Well even though you may think you don't need the Lord....He still loves you. And I'm sorry you don't think you need your name mentioned in my prayers, but I know He does want others to pray for you. And hey, if you really didn't want us to, you wouldn't have stood up and told us so.

Jesus loves you! So there.... and yeah, I'm praying for your salvation.

Couldn't help myself, just had to pray. Please believe me when I say that the Father doesn't consider it a bother.

Best Wishes,
Georgia

I was sad when I read goodoldboy's first post but something moved me (wonder what that was? ) to pray. And so I did.

pray for me not
