Thoughtful prayer time

hi everybody,

i am trying to get a private message group off of the ground which is called ‘thoughtful prayer time’ and it is basically what it says in the title

i think we can all pray for each other and gee each other up on here with prayer and thoughtfulness so that we can all hopefully start to recover even more fully than we are now,

it doesnt have to e about God or religion though and we should all respect that and others thoughts i will be praying as much as i can for everyone and anyone who wants it, i can do that on the main chat but i think te group pm is a little more personal than that,

if you have any questions or want to know more about it then just ask

here is the group in question and i hope to see you and pray for you soon :v: :pray: :v:

i’m guessing that not a lot of people like to be prayed for and i am wondering why

Do you get the goose bumps and tingle all over and feel energized when you pray?

Prayer is paradoxill for me.

If somthing needs to be prayed for to know somthing is wrong.

Like whatever hears prayer does not know somthing is wrong and needed unless it is told by prayer.

4

the whole premise of this is to make people feel good but its ok if you dont like it,

i dont get goose bumps or anything lol i just get a nice feeling of contentment when i think i have said something in a way that is to try and make someone feel better

here’s a little song that i like by Aretha Franklin… i hope you like it :wink:

i love this song as well… i was trying to sing it yesterday but i changed it to Sunday haha…
monday morning so good to me by the mamas and papas… great song to sing (even on a monday) lol…

6

sorry this has turned out to be a music thread rather than anything else haha hope you like the songs anyway haha i got a couple more up my sleeve lol

heres easy morning by Lionel Richie

and here is another more modern kind of upbeat song by hurts called Sunday, i love it…

thought i’d just say a little prayer for the people who are suffering with sz on the site and all around the world and universe/multiiverse etc etc and so on and so on lol

i hope i am not bothering people with this thread bc i dont mean to, i just wanted to say something to the people here without bring religion into it bc i believe that prayer doesnt have to be seeped in religion, i believe it can transcend that and reach higher hieghts, any way…

i hope and pray for the people of this site that they will feel peace and serenity within themselves and there mind, body & spirit, i hope and pray that the people of this site who are suffering can find happiness and love and kindness in their lives and that all of their dreams come true, true happiness and true recovery bc we all want to recover and that is a fact, we all want to be well and fit and happy, i’m going to pray really hard for this for you all, all the people on this site and around the world with sz and also other mental illnesses and disorder, i am praying really hard for you and i hope you know that, take care and bless you all, Amen.

My wife has insisted that we pray out loud at meal times what is on our hearts and minds because it allows us to know what the other person is going through and keep in touch with each other’s needs amidst the turmoil of daily life.

I will tell you it works in this way, “even if” God does not exist and there are no miracles. So some of us atheists would do well to keep an open mind about prayer.

Dude , just don’t forget your humanity , your here for similar reasons to the rest of us. I know plenty that are religious , they go to church , yes , but once there finished its back to plain old messy life.

its a way of life for me now, i would literally feel bad if i didnt go now, even if i miss prayer time i still feel like crap bc i know it is a good thing and i am missing out on that,

doesnt change me as a person though, the opposite actually, makes me feel better about myself and everuthing, i think that everyone here no matter how hardened they were would benefit from it if they gave it a chance and it didnt affect them mentally

My dad wanted prayer to be a way of life for me.

Pray everday five times.

He kept pushing me saying it has benifets.

I used to do it whenever around poeple doing it now I just pray my own psychotic way.

I think about prayer to much, what are you praying to, what names are you praying in, how does the prayer work, through telepathy or somthing like intercession.

I have always prayed since I can remember, Schizophrenia complicates prayer for me but I still ask daily.

12

you dont need to pray Dude1, its not a requirement but people can pray for you if you wish, i wouldnt try and push it on anyone, it should come naturally.

13

What do you pray to?

14

well i see God as a person who waits for me to come to him to be judged :slight_smile:

15

I told my psychologist I ask God to condemn those people who I have symptoms of Schizophrenia from.

He said that was good and better than doing any harm to them.

You are a very positive example.

I have become kinda negative with my asking God.

18

i try to be positive, it is so good for my psyche and my soul :slight_smile:

well i dont take it too serious about myself i try and be a bit more subtle about it x

Thank you for your thoughtfulness, I probably need a prayer. I get very bad thoughts when I pray, so I don’t know if I will. Besides that just sending over happy thoughts, take it easy, and give yourself a break today.
