Hi Jenn

I agree with your post.
A hand clasped in prayer is only of use when it unclasps to cup itself to give water to the thirsty, or it reaches out to the unloved, or it is used to defend a person being abused by a more powerful but evil hand.

Prayer is never enough and it is only good if it gves us the motivation and the power to actively love others.
Most prayers are a cop out and I am sick of the false, insufficient comfort being offered by most praying hands.


But I do think that people who truly and rightly pray will not walk over to the other side of the rode when they come upon the injured man on the way to Jesusalem.


As to whether prayer actually does more than change the prayor....I don't know. Usually it doesn't seem to be of much use to me but my faith is not the 'mountain moving' kind (if that kind exists.)
