sending out little prayers for strangers you meet

Hi Hatlet, I certainly don't think you are being an idiot. You feel like you want to help someone and that is great. Since it done in silence you are not trying to attract any attention to yourself. Blessings.

I do that too, I believe that prayers do help in a little way. You are not crazy but a person with a very kind heart. God does listen and I think sometimes when something good happens to us and we say what did I ever do to desrve this in first place , Its that the prayer made for us by some stranger like you that has turned our cloudy day in to the one filled with bright sunshine.I wish we had more people like you on this earth.

I sometimes do, Patsie. Mostly when I read the papers and you know, there are tons of depressing news out there. I will just say things to the effect of "God bless you", "May things turn out alright for you" and the kind. You are not an idiot. Sending your positive thoughts will help them. It may not prevent an avalanche but sometimes it may previous that tiny rock from moving just that quarter inch that might just prevent that avalanche. A positive thought alone may not be worth much alone but everything adds up. Keeping radiating positivity!

hmm, not only shopping center, I believe. mostly when I'm on the bus, I would make a silent prayer so everyone who have ever become the bus' passengers would be saved, would come home (to their family) safe too, and that the driver and the door guard would be blessed during the day. no, I don't think it's idiot thing to do, so you are not an idiot, but I would find that yeah, some people do it, some others might feel we are just wasting time by doing that. however, probably it wasn't us that wanted to pray for them, I think if GOD's Spirit had not put the empathy within us, how would we feel moved to make a silent prayer for those people? just think about this, we might not even the ones who prayed for any strangers, perhaps even some strangers prayed for us unknowingly, we just never know, right? how would you call those strangers who prayed for you? I would call them "the blessings". that's what I would call you too for being inside the list of "these blessings"

No, it's definitely not making an idiot out of you. It's showing wisdom. It is a noble act. God will definitely be pleased if your heart's purpose is always the well being of others. You're doing the right thing.

I always add a little prayer for strangers. I always ask God to help anyone that may be lost or in need of his helping hand.

Well, i have done this too many times too, i guess they could use a little prayer and i think it is not too bad to offer a big help through a little prayer. :D It is not being idiot of course. You are doing very well as someone who believes in the power of God.

I do it too. Or I'm watching the news about a terrible situation and I just start praying for them. I'm not even thinking what will come of it, I just think that that may be all I can do, so why not do it.

No you aren't being an idiot! It may not be everyone's cup of tea but there is nothing wrong with you sending out silent prayers for strangers. I tend to do the same thing...and especially for firefighters and the family when I hear of a house fire (we have a police scanner) and also for accident victims when I hear about one of them.

Hey buddy....you are an angel.. its really a very nice and good thing you are doing....do keep up the good work even if some idiots criticize you.. i hope to follow your deeds and i wish others too soon follow soon....

Yes I do and If they really need a prayer.. I pray to thank god for giving me such a wonderful life and really guide me to have a better ones but as far as I know they are blessed ones those who duffer and have limited lifestyle they are the ones who are lucky for God himself is on their side.

I identify with what you are saying for definate, but I would not say I would send a prayer out for them specifically but I definately send my thoughts to them, and you are definately not an idiot, it is very sweet of you.

I have done it on many occasions. That is doing what you are supposed to do.

Yes Hatley I also do the same thing what you do. I have also had several experience of praying for those we pass by. It shows your real concern for them and your kind heartedness. My belief is that your this single line will be recognised and God hears us. Do continue to do this

if you are an idiot thenthat makes us two. if saying a little prayer for someone who we thin needs it is wrong then i dont know what is right already. i also light a candle and pray if someone is sick whether he is a relative or not. some of the mylot members are asking for prayers and i do help in my own little way by saying a little prayer and lighting a candle for a speedy recovery

I do this too! Even in my nightly prayers I will ask God to watch over those I don't know...It makes me feel good that I did this..I just wish everyone was healthy and free from their troubles and pains from life...

Well God bless you. I don't think enough people do these things and you are so very empathetic to take the time to even notice others around you. I must confess that I,too, often am so busy with my own trivial thoughts that I don't do this. I vow to be more attentive from now on. I feel ashamed of myself. Thank you for making me stop and think. Happy Easter.
