The Highway Forums General Discussion Open Forum Is more better?

I was just thinking about this tonight while at work. I was thinking about prayer and getting people in the body to pray for our concerns and I asked myself if more was better? Is the focus on how many people in the body are praying or on how effectively those that are praying?

I then thought about how Peter is imprisoned and how while he's in prison the brethren met together and prayed for him all night. I was thinking how hard it would be to gather a handful of Christians now together for an overnight prayer meeting. So I was just wondering what everyone else thought about this? I'm going to start studying a little bit more about prayer.

Y.B.I.C,

Dave,

In my opinion more is better. It's interesting that you bring this up as I'm trying to start a small prayer chain amongst friends. Yesterday I made out about six 3x5 cards with prayer requests to hand out to some men that I fellowship with on a regular basis and also my mother. My plan is to give them a 3x5 with their name on them to fill out and give back to me so that I may remember them in prayer as well (I've already handed out one set and the idea was received well). I think we need that support in our lives as believers...at least I KNOW I do...and as much as I can get. I don't want this to turn into an obligation thing but I just asked that when we remember each other we can simply pull out the card and pray for our specific needs. Hope that helps some...
