“But thou, if thou shouldst never see my face again, pray for my soul. More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of. For what better is man than sheep or goat, that nourisheth a blind life within the brain, if knowing God, he lifts not hands of prayer both for himself and those that call him friend?”
From “The Idylls of the King” by Alfred, Lord Tennyson
How does one know, if something good happens in their life, that it was the result of another offering prayers for them?
How do you know when you offer prayers for a neighbor that the prayer was actually answered?
I used to offer perfect prayer, (SIT) for my family and those in my fellowship everyday, our countries leadership, and TWI leadership. They all got sick like anyone else in the world, two died in a car accident, and VPW somehow managed to get possessed my a devil spirit and died of cancer.
My prayer didn’t seem to make much difference at all.

It may not, if it's not God's will. Jesus prayed in the garden "my Father, if this chalice may not pass away but I must drink it; Thy will be done".

Did anybody ever figure out how that camera thing from PFAL works? Maybe that's really the greatest mystery in the world today.

Much Less Prayer Requests: I believe that is because there are much less people here.

It might also have to do with the position of this thread on the homepage.
