Could you possibly............ .....

That's me too Galen

I think prayer can provide great solace for those who pray, and those they pray for, so in that respect it is powerful. I don't believe prayer can alter the outcome of a specific situation, though.

Goose I quite agree positive thought can be very powerful!

Yes, but you have to be careful what you ask for.
Ana I think outcomes can be changed, if through prayer or meditation your perception of a situation is altered, and this changes the way you act.

I agree, Jane - I was thinking more on the lines of 'Please don't let such and such happen', when one has no control over the situation. Of course prayer or meditation could help in accepting the outcome, whatever it may be.

No.

No.

No!

No.

For me, it's tough one.

Might I ask (and apologies if this has already been asked) the power of prayer to whom?

So far, seems like 13 yes's and 10 no's. So almost 50/50.

Anyone else? Any "lurkers" out there? You would be very welcome.

Yes

I am not quite sure what you expect to find from this 'survey' - you can hardly extrapolate from the replies of less than thirty members out of a membership of some 15,000!

Ah, now we are almost straying in to the realms of the confidence interval!

(Almost, but not quite home ground for me!)

No.

Well, Im', waiting for the other 14,970 to come online aren't I!

Shoud have said it was a competition. Bring 'em out in hordes that would.

phoenix you're welcome to that lot. #keepitsimple

There was a time when for me that was simple! (Well, at least understandable!)

No.

Yes

Ah...! There you are Petallus. I wondered if you would be be back this weekend. Happy Easter

Thanks, good to be back

JO You could probably assume that the other 14,967 are no's as they are not rushing into posting a yes.

Hi Petallus, you said you would do it and you have. What will-power!
