I'm sorry to hear that. I know many who do.While I do agree that one may not attribute the continuance of Covid-19 to a lack of prayer, I believe that I have not heard of anyone praying it would go away.

I never said or implied that that is how prayer works.
So if you pray for these, and you feel that prayer has an impact on these, then why not just pray for the end of COVID-19? Or at least for a vaccine?
I must have misread previous posts then - as seeing this as evidence for prayers working.Not when I wasn't asked to provide examples where prayer didn't work.
Besides, someone already did that.
Unless you are assuming or implying I'm stating that all prayers work, which would be just plain silly based on the thread's premise and what I've already said in this thread.
What is an example of a prayer that works in your definition of the term?
To be honest, I think it's doing a lot of good.Why not always? Why not pray for it to end? Why not pray for a vaccine?
The Serenity Prayer
Anyone can say a prayer, though. What is the mechanism that things prayer and others work?
Is it strong intention?
Saying it in the right tone?
What's the connection?
*** mod edit ***
Christians I met they pray for the welfare of others, and I am sure many prayed to God about Covid
I know that Amma advises devotees to pray, and Sai Baba organisation too
(so that might be crores of people (more than many)
IMHO: Above quote contained all informationWhich others?
We have at least one Christian in this very thread who evidently prays for some, but not others.
Perhaps, COVID-19 viruses / bacteria that are praying for food and shelter at this time -- outnumbers the number of humans praying to end COVID-19 at this time.I'm assuming none of you are praying that COVID-19 ends, because it's still here and the cases are mounting?
So why aren't you praying?
Dear it works!Prayer doesn't work
Of course, it is.Is it within God's power to do so?
Of course, it is.
For youPrayer doesn't work
100% sure it does work for meDear it works!

Can you give me an example where they have worked (and there could be no other explanation)For you
Can you give me an example where they have NOT worked (and there could be no other explanation)Can you give me an example where they have worked (and there could be no other explanation)
Interesting that you throw my question back, if you were confident you'd answer it. Anyway,Can you give me an example where they have NOT worked (and there could be no other explanation)
Yes (yes)Can you give me an example where they have worked (and there could be no other explanation)
Very clever, I see what you did then.Yes (yes)
You believe this, I know the truth. That is the differenceVery clever, I see what you did then.
I take it as a NO, since you have no examples.
I told you it didn't work and you are proving it.
Similarly, attempting to convert others away from their religion, spiritual convictions, or sect/denomination will also be considered a form of preaching
