    So why is it.

    So why is it. There is a lot of very good Christian on this site. Many are Vets and very patriotic.

    So why is it that when 7 Sailors die at sea on the USS Fitzgerald in a tragic accident, only 8 good men stand up and pray for these men and families.

    They are obviously sinners

    So can anyone tell me why that is?

    Thanks guys.

    I guess posting for group prayer isn't needed
    If you dont want to stand up and be count and just stay in the shadows its just best to keep our prayers on a personal bases

    Legitimate question
    I failed to give the matter proper attention by prayer
    I believe it helps to show pray support in threads

    DCP, I believe that the prayer request was outside the Chapel. Some people don't check the entire forum everyday, so it's easy to miss.
    However, that being said, I repeat my prayers for the sailors of the "Fitz", and offer condolences to their families.
    Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty.

    I may not give prayer on a thread but do pray . In the case it could be comforting , reassuring to those asking or affected I think acknowledgement is good even if it is only giving an ..Amen . We have had prayer lines go for months here .
    No turning back , No turning back !

    It was in the Chapel. Preacher Jim asked me to put it there. You were one of the 8

    Well, I stand corrected. As to the OP, I don't know.

    We need an emoji for prayers lifted!

    I didn't realize is interpreted as a request being ignored if a thread isn't posted to.

    What's worse, replying prayers lifted, and not praying, or not posting and lifting prayers? I think that's where I'm coming from.

    DCP,

    Not everyone does everything the same way. Some may make a post saying they will pray, others my post a prayer and others may just simply pray without posting. I fall into the last group and sometimes don't even read the post. I simply offer a short prayer for whatever the issue might be.

    Maybe because of Matthew 6:5-8 some don't post in every prayer thread.
