Glad you self-corrected there. ;)
One of the problems with looking up scriptures on
the computer is that the verse which is
highlighted and which appears on the line which
shows what verse the cursor is resting on is not
necessarily the one you are actually looking at
(or want to make reference to) . . . :-[
I would guess that those who do believe in the
efficacy of prayer have probably been doing
some of it in the time they are not on-line . . .
And, likely, not announcing it. Seems to me that
prayer is one of those intensely personal things
when it's being done in earnest that has
absolutely nothing to do with interacting with
the outside world. It's not done on camera; it's
not done before crowds with grimaces and
gesticulations; it's not proclaimed or declared;
it's a deep, quiet consultation with something
far beyond petty concerns of ego.
Yep.
