I know, I have a hard time with that too.   People will ask for prayers sometimes and I don't know what to say except that I am not a believer but I can't begin to imagine the pain you're going through and if there's anything I can do to help, to call.   I tell them I'm thinking of them.   It does all sound kind of lame compared to "you're in my prayers", which I think is a load of crap anyway because people probably forget them the minute they walk away anyway.

If you live by water or areas where earthquakes happen expect the worse. of course there will be tsunamis that happen if you live by water. "Some people won't look up to God until He puts them on their back." This is sad, but true. He sees what we do and if we ask for him for things to be given to us well what have we done in return? do we only pray when we really need something or are in pain? If you dont pray to him like you should he isn't going to answer you cause you only acknowledge him when your in need. Wake up people Somethings wrong here why is this happening to us? Just because a prayer doesn't work on how long ever you've prayed doesn't mean Jesus aint listening. He's trying to tell us something? How strong really is your love? I say who wants to live on this shitty world with shitty people filled in it anyways it's way to corrupted now imagine years from now, we all die someway somehow regardless if it's tomorrow or today. Death is unexplainable to us as humans cause we never experienced what it would be like. As for telling people about there loved ones dying it never hurts to say your sorry for them it shows them somebody cares.

"Just because a prayer doesn't work on how long ever you've prayed doesn't mean Jesus aint listening."

How then, do you know that he is listening? How do you know anyone is listening?

I realize that it is comforting to think that someone is listening to your innermost concerns, but thinking so doesn't make it so. Why not just think about cute furry creatures comforting our loved ones in some imaginary realm? Wouldn't it that offer just as much comfort and have just as much probability of being true?
