i was thinking it may be good to have a box or something to check if you have prayed for a prayer request on the prayer request thread. now you can either view or respond. i know when i have posted a prayer request and no one responded i felt hurt - yet several had viewed so they could have prayed and i just did not know. also when i pray i always want the person to know that i did so i respond which can get time consuming. so think about a box on the prayer thread for us to check if we prayed. thanks and God Bless!!!!

What a GREAT idea Maye!! Are we voting for this?? haha I just want to say I really think this would be a good thing to add.....because I know that while I for one do read the prayer requests and do pray for those in need,...I don't often reply. As you say, it takes time to answer each post, and I'd rather be praying!!!

It can be a bit disheartening when you ask for prayer and no one responds. There are those that pray
with the understanding that God hears even though they did not post that they prayed for you. I guess
many not in need at this time don't understand how knowing others are praying for you helps lift your
spirits. I always try to post after I pray for someone.

The praying helps but as humans we like the visible proof at times of great need.

That's an great idea Maye!
I wonder how Robo could format just the prayer requests threads, to just show a 'I will be praying!' check box?
