So I don't pray a lot, but I need some genuine prayers rn

I'm Christian, but I don't pray much, I stopped many years ago asking God for stuff, because it was not coming true, so I thought it was pointless, and stopped asking.
Now, recently more people in my life, here included, told me that I should leave my faith in God's hands more and pray more.

I'm feeling like I got a cold today and I got a vacation trip in a day, also I've been living with somebody that has covid rn. Taking care of them, but being super cautious about it.
I made 2 covid tests tonight, and both were negative.
But still can any of you pray for me, that it is indeed just a cold, and that it will heal by the time I have to go on my trip?

You got it buddy! I'll keep you in my prayers for everything you have mentioned. I wish you had some grapeseed extract. That would really help, and garlic and ginger and selenium. Anything to boost your immune system, even Ester vitamin C.

I could not be more proud of you and your progress. You've made the right choices. I pray that you will have of great and fun trip. And a safe one up and back. 🙌 🤗😊🤜 Way to go!!

@LadyGrace Thank you so much Grace, for the good wishes. And I should have some garlic, I need to go look, and vitamin c. I took a nurofen, that's anti-inflamatory, like ibuprofen and drank some raspberry syrup tea.
Thank you for the prayers, it means a lot.

@Dan193 Olive leaf extract — oleuropein — is able to defeat viruses — any virus, including COVID-19 — in 5 different ways. See the research below:

” Researchers at the Upjohn pharmaceutical company reported the following antiviral effects (in my simpler words) using a salt made from olive leaf ingredients (Calcium elenolate) in laboratory experiments in live tissue. It had antiviral activity against every virus it was tested on and works as follows:

1. Penetrates into host cells and blocks viral replication.

2. Interferes with the virus’ production of the proteins it needs. (Interference with the virus’ hijacking of your cell function).

3. Inactivates the viruses, preventing their migration from infected cells and their connection with cell membranes.

4. Stops a retrovirus’s production of protease and reverse transcriptase – enzymes a retrovirus such as HIV uses to alter the RNA of a heallthy cell.

5. Stimulates the human immune system response (to destroy them).

In short, olive leaf extract ingredients block a virus’ life cycle, stop it multiplying then call up immune cells to demolish it. It will likely do this to a greater or lesser degree to any viral infection, and so offers much hope to those who wish to avoid infections or those who need help in combating them.”

Well if you believe in God's will, the idea of asking God for things is silly. When you pray you should thank God and pray that you find within yourself the dignity and strenght to do her will
JimboSaturn · 51-55, M
@Dan193 Tell me how you pray
JimboSaturn · 51-55, M
You should pray how Jesus prayed. Look at The Lord's Prayer. Is Jesus asking for favours? no he is asking forstrength for "thy will be done". Jesus gave you the perfect example of prayer
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@JimboSaturn bro 😂 I really don't want to get into this. Just normal praying, saying a prayer and and then asking God what I want and where it hurts. And then hope that He was listening.
LadyGrace · 70-79
Dan, the Lord says to take EVERYTHING to him in prayer, so don't you feel a bit bad about praying for this. You can pray for anything you need and God loves that when you trust him like that.
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@LadyGrace That's what my granny adviced me too. Thanks 💗
LadyGrace · 70-79
@Dan193 Yeees, and I bet she was the sweetest, grandest lady!
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@LadyGrace she still is 😂 She advised me that like a week ago x)
LadyGrace · 70-79
Bless your heart. Here you are sick and have to open the window and are still sweet enough to take good care of this other person who has Covid. And then to top it off you've got people judging you, I can't believe them! How rude. Don't you worry Dan, God is listening always to you and He will help you get well. Please try to stay warm.

"God, please take care of Dan and his friend and take this Covid away, in Jesus' name I pray, Amen."

Take care, honey. May you both be up and going real quick.

I will send you some positive energy but it has nothing to do with God but has everything to do with sending good vibes :)
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@black4white thanks a lot, thats why I put the post in the Positive cathegory. I think it's helping already.

I pray you get the confidence to take up life in your hands instead of relying onto others.
Extra tip: needless worry weakens your immune system.
trackboy · 22-25, M
there is no god or satan. no heaven or hell. we are just gone when we die. we evolved over billions of years from the cooling planet that formed very simple single-cell life then that single-cell life got more and more complex over a billion years until the great leap was made to multi-cell life. once that leap happened we had the explosion of life. religions were invented to control people and to make people think there was an afterlife so they would not go crazy from knowing they are gone when they die.
LadyGrace · 70-79
@trackboy Okay, tell us exactly how religions control people. Do they make people go to church? Do they force them to tithe? They can't come and go as they please? Except for the brainwashed cults, you're not going to force people to do something if they don't want to.

we evolved over billions of years from the cooling planet that formed very simple single-cell life then that single-cell life got more and more complex
You must be over a billion years old to know that. What did that look like? God's Word tells us exactly how we got here and it wasn't by accident.

No heaven or hell? Either you have never heard the reason why Jesus came to Earth or you don't believe it. But over 500 people witnessed him die on the cross and then later resurrect into heaven to be with His Father. You can't claim they were all delusional.
LadyGrace · 70-79
@trackboy No Heaven or Hell? I would rather wake up in eternity to find out you were right, then to wake up in eternity and find myself in hell.
I almost prayed last night. I just want to remain hopeful and positive. I hope you stay healthy and enjoy your travels.
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@Spoiledbrat thanks for the good words. What did u want to pray for last night?
May you identify with the strength within you to fight all internal & external enemies for your survival n bliss.
walabby · M
Life is what happens while you make other plans.
What will be, will be.

I do hope you make your trip.
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@walabby thanks for the good thoughts, means a lot
Personally i don't pray about stuff like that.. but best wishes to you and your health and trip
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@SStarfish thanks a lot 🙂
InHeaven · F
Pray yourself. Try repenting instead of constantly asking God for stuff. What do you do for God
Dan193 · 31-35, M
Ok, thanks for reading
InHeaven · F
...when we die and meet the Judge...@Dan193 guess what Jesus will ask us : “What did you do for me, son....” Your welcome
awww, hope both you and your friend are well :) and have a good trip!!!
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@lovelywarpedlemon thank you 🙇‍♂️
4meAndyou · F
🙏🙏🙏 Prayers said!
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@4meAndyou thank you very much. Sometimes I'm thinking if ppl care about me at all over here. But after making this post and getting so many good wishes and support, I realize I don't need to ask that question, because this is all I need to tell me that I am loved 🙂💗
4meAndyou · F
@Dan193 🤗🤗🤗The sum total of the love that surrounds you is beyond your comprehension! As above, so below!
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@4meAndyou I can feel it 😊🤗💗
bookerdana · M
You got it...pray as if everything depended on God then work as if everything depended on you..so take care
MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M
Man I am super glad that you're finding your roots again but honestly that sounds like a petty thing for me to pray to god about. I hope you will make the trip though, and you should definitely pray for it! 🤗
MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M
@MartinTheFirst btw I know that sounds so offensive but I mean it in a good way i promise
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@MartinTheFirst thanks I just did, I'll pray more before going to sleep.
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@MartinTheFirst I know, I would've felt the same way previously, but I got the good energy from it., so thanks
REMsleep · 41-45, F
Ok Keep in mind that God is not a genie in a bottle. Please read your Bible more to understand what God is and how to pray and be a Christian.
The word of God is the only source, not what others tell you.
You can't correlate your faith to wether or not your prayers were granted.
But I will pray that you stay well.
LadyGrace · 70-79
@REMsleep I'm sorry but I'll have to disagree with you on this. Yes we read our Bible to understand who God is, but not how to pray and be a Christian. Religion and denominations have nothing to do with it. We pray so that we can have salvation.
REMsleep · 41-45, F
@LadyGrace Well as always I will point to the word of God from where I obtain all of my teachings on God and his perfect will. I think that perhaps you might have misunderstood what I was saying because you meantioned religions and denominations while I did not.

To clarify....
I said to
read your Bible to understand how to pray
By this I mean that from the Old Testament to the New Testament, the Bible has taught us how to pray.
Jesus gave us an example of how to pray as well.

Luke 11:1 "Lord teach us to pray."
Followed by The Lords Prayer.


Romans 8:26
“Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words
This verse lets us know that we are weak in flesh and may pray for things which are not to be.


I meantioned that the Bible teaches us how to pray because @Dan193 meantioned that he lost faith because he prayed for a few things in his life and those things did not happen. Well that is not how the Bible says that prayer works so I suggested he read the Bible to learn about prayer, how to pray, and how prayer works.
Everything which I have said here is from scripture.
