    I know that there are many on the board who either believe in prayer of some kind
    and/or working positive energy towards a specific goal.
    Do any of you regularly or at least ever so often pray for peace?

    I'm curious because I see so many bumper stickers right now that say "Pray for Peace" and
    I wonder how many people really do pray for peace.
    Going along with that, how many pray for the general well being of their neighbors etc etc?

    Do I?
    I believe that we definitely have the ability to use energy for whatever we want.
    I personally call it prayer, but that is not meant to indicate anything further.
    I try to incorporate it, but would not say it's at the top of my list. Though it should be.

    I once prayed for patience and I got double pneumonia and I was in bed for two weeks. That was enough of that.

    I learnt that an ounce of action was worth more than a ton of prayer.

    Bigmouth: That is quite true, but I think what I am trying to say is there is a good number of people out there that pray for the healing of friends/family or even strangers. I am wondering how many that pray, pray for the healing of our planet. Pray for the cessation of war. I do totally agree with you on many levels, prayer is in itself some form of action, I think anyway.

    Stealth: Well do the prayers work? ;)

    I've begged god for peace all my life, and here we are at war again. I wonder what that's about?

    Looks like God has put a curse on us humans and fish by putting the devil right among us. You think he will take him back if we pray?
