Politics aside, I wish he recovers and he needs our prayers.

I dont mean to seem disrespectful, but why does he need our prayers? Because he is a celebrity? Why not the lady down the street, or the newspaper carrier?

Do you really have all the time to pray for this guy and everybody else, too? How does that work? Do you look at lists of celebrities to pray for? How about your local obits ... do you read each one so you can pray for each local family who has lost a loved one?

How does this process work?

I'm praying for the poor, innocent mosquito. He was only doing what mosquitoes do naturally. It was Chris who invaded the mosquito's natural habitat.

Original comment: Politics aside, I wish he recovers and he needs our prayers.

I dont mean to seem disrespectful,

no need to qualify yourself for asking honest questions

but why does he need our prayers?

He is ill and we are aware of it.

Because he is a celebrity?

no

Why not the lady down the street, or the newspaper carrier?

You know a lady down the street or the newspapper carrier that is in trouble, please let us know.

Do you really have all the time to pray for this guy

I have at least a minute, but not all the time. I'm a finite creature.

and everybody else, too?

You mean 6 billion people? No, I don't. Doing the math, a billion seconds is about 30 years. My life is too short.

How does that work?

Prayer? Better to ask a person of faith, who you know, than a stranger on the internet.

Or Do you look at lists of celebrities to pray for?

no

How about your local obits ...

sometimes

do you read each one so you can pray for each local family who has lost a loved one?

not everyone

How does this process work?

Prayer? See earlier comment.
