I asked a visiting pastor after church was over to pray with me that I get married. He said I AIN'T PRAYING FOR THAT EXTREMELY LOUD! I was so embarrassed and humiliated, I stopped asking people to pray with me and for me. Except I was really bad sick or having surgery. I ask my Facebook friends to pray for me. Now, I'm glad that he did that. I go to God for myself now.
Hi Anne, my heart goes out to you for that episode. I can most definitely understand. There was absolutely NOTHING wrong with that prayer request. And if your Knight in shinny armor hasn't arrived since this post, I will gladly intercede for you. For Sure!!
That was rude of the pastor. He doesn’t get to decide the prayers in our hearts. Funny as John is, God cares that we come to Him with any of our concerns. No one on earth gets to decide what we pray or how our prayers are answered. Thank you, Jesus!
I think it's about learning to be like Him in any arena we find ourselves. It's almost never about the occupation or activity (although there's some clearly bad ones out there), it's about bringing His goodness and His way of being into every situation we're in.❤
I moved to Alabama and made the mistake of joining in a conversation 2 women were having in a convenience store. They were talking divorce and I said I’m getting divorced too! The women quickly decided we needed to have a prayer circle. In the Circle K!! I had never experienced this so I went along to see what would happen. We held hands, next to the chips, and one woman started praying for us during this difficult time. I was peeking around to see their expressions and especially when a man walked in. Apparently this is thing he saw often because he didn’t bat an eye at 3 women holding hands next to the chips in a Circle K praying! 😂 Welcome to Alabama!
We have a prayer board at our church and my 9 year old daughter has been really into reptiles and amphibians lately. So one day we were at church and I saw her writing on a card to put on the prayer board and I went to go check later to see what she wrote and it said "I pray for more snakes in my yard." 😵💫
Hi Rachel, It's incredible how we connect with strangers in unexpected ways. Although I don't usually do this, I couldn't help but reach out to you after seeing your comment. Could you tell me what you like to do in your spare time?

Hello Bambi, It's incredible how we connect with strangers in unexpected ways. Although I don't usually do this, I couldn't help but reach out to you after seeing your comment. Could you tell me what you like to do in your spare time? Ty!
I was a new widow in 2006, moved to a small cottage with a bedroom upstairs. Decided to hang some art on the stairwell wall. Wood stairs with a pie shaped landing, that I put a 2 step stepladder on. As I get on the 2nd step, I said, "Oh, Lord, keep me from getting hurt". As soon as I finished that thought (very short prayer) the ladder shot out from under me & I went flying forward. I ended up with a chicken egg on my forehead that turned into a black eye, a goose egg that bruised my whole left arm & the next day my foot was swollen & I limped for a week. As I lay on the stairs, taking inventory, I thought "well that didn't help" but even tho I looked like someone beat me up or been in a bad car wreck I really wasn't "hurt". AND I figured God thought, "well you're the dummy who put a ladder on the stairs!"
@@stephj9378 Yes, that's what I realized too. So many things could have happened & I was all alone (if you don't count my dog, lol) & my phone was on the kitchen counter. Broken bones, cracked ribs- punctured lung, concussion, etc etc. It also occurred to me that I didn't ask, not to fall, but not to be hurt. I think the Lord put the right prayer in my mind.
Is that "97%" bit referencing something from earlier in the show, or am I missing an obvious punchline? The crowd was hysterical, he went to the ground, and I'm just confused about what, "I'm 97%, dude" means that was so funny, lol.
@barbarawoodward6794 Yeah, judging by the number of likes and your reply, it appears a lot of folks came to the comments to see if they could figure it out themselves. I'll watch the whole show anyway so it doesn't matter, but most comedians wouldn't use a clip where a big part of the clip is a reference to a joke that isn't in it. But yeah, with this many people liking this comment and nobody yet saying, "wtf are you talking about? It was obvious. You're just dumb," I think that means it is definitely a joke from earlier in the show. I'm thinking he touched on the fact that a lot of people think he's gay because of his mannerisms and he probably said he's 97% straight, lol. That's my educated guess knowing his work.
He was referring to an earlier part in the show where he said he was 97% straight. He was just kidding of course the way he tied it together was hilarious.
These are the kind of prayers that I will lift up to God just to make him laugh. As far as I am concerned, he has a really hard job and a little laughter from me might help. I like to give back when I can.
This reminds me of Tim Hawkins when he mentioned the praying methods and requests of various people. I loved his gag of praying for the nourishment of junk food 🤣👌
I have had that same thought at a picnic where it was mostly "crap food", and somebody prayed over it. I thought, "Seriously? What was the point of that?" 😂

I think his point was that their chances of not dying would be much better if they didn't engage in a risky behavior to begin with. It would be like me praying, "Lord, I am about to go swim with sharks. Please protect me.:

He's 100% correct about so many ridiculous prayer requests. Pray to win a football game?
Sometimes them Cowboys need that extra push, man😂
I think at the football game it’s usually a prayer against injury. Often see both teams huddled before a game.
God uses sports games to speak to many people. Some "Christians" are so judgmental.
I wonder how God responds to that request if the other team prays for their own victory as well
I think it's about learning to be like Him in any arena we find ourselves. It's almost never about the occupation or activity (although there's some clearly bad ones out there), it's about bringing His goodness and His way of being into every situation we're in.❤
