What do you pray for the most?

[Behold]

From my X / Twitter ”For you” feed comes this interesting question:

”What do you pray for the most?”

(Paul David Tripp)

https://x.com/paultripp/status/1903488726082416887?s=61

1.) The Rapture of the Church.

2.) Healing for the sick

3.) Salvation for the lost

Who do you pray to in those rare moments when you do?

To God.

On this forum, I pray for no more very long posts.

I pray for Christ coming soon. Which I know He will.

To God.

To an unknown God? To the Messiah’s God? To another?

 

[OreCove]

Can you tell me what you understand as the answers to those questions?

You have your vision as a member of your church. I'm not going to change it, it's impossible. See It yourself. You must experience it on your personal level, then you will understand. God’s guidance by His Spirit is the Heavenly Kingdom.

To an unknown God? To the Messiah’s God? To another?

To the same God Jesus prayed to. It's the only one I think may exist.

Thanks. I’d like to gain a better understanding regarding how much influence Jesus has in your life.

Jesus didn’t pray to a generic God. He prayed to a specific God, a personal God, the one God, his God, his Father: Yahweh. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel.

If you had no knowledge of Jesus, or of him praying to that specific God, would it change your answer?

Yes, I suppose it would.

Its really no ones business.

 

[Matthias]

Yes, I suppose it would.

Thanks. That leads me to think that Jesus is a significant influence on your mind.

As of today, 27,000 views and 189 comments in response on his X account.

As of today, 51 views and 3 responses (not counting this one) on Christianity Board.

What does that tell us, if anything?

189/27100 = 0.7% response rate
3/51 = 5.9% response rate

What that tells us is that CB readers are 8.4x more responsive than Mr. Tripp's (as of March 22). Must be because we're so darn spiritual!

Something new to pray about.

”What do you pray for the most?”

Salvation of souls and healing for others mostly.

I pray for the winning lottery numbers.

Despite what you are hearing elsewhere, there is no God besides the one whom Jesus prayed to.

I’m praying you remember that.

I do. But I also pray for the winning lottery numbers.

I think you need to ask lottery winners if their money bought them happiness or misery.....

“The love of money is the root of all evil”....remember? It is the love of money that creates greedy corporations that pester people every day to buy what they are selling.....what are they selling?
I noticed that your President was boasting the other day about how much money they made by selling weapons to Israel....”full price” even.

“Jesus said to his disciples: “Truly I say to you that it will be difficult for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of the heavens. 24  Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to get through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God.” (Matt 19:23-24)

Why do you think he said that...twice?

It wouldn't be about buying happiness for me. It would be about not having to worry about the bottom line anymore. I would invest the money, live in a modest home with plenty of land, and drive a used truck.

My prayers often start by giving thanks then I often ask for the strength to deal with life's trials and tribulations
