I'll pray for you
lareli:
How do you guys feel about people praying for you? Do you accept or welcome it? I'm sure a lot of us have family that are Christians.. How do you feel if or when they offer to pray for you or your kids about something? Like lay hands on you and pray... Do you feel weird about it? Do you pray something else in your head while letting them pray what they think is right when you may disagree?
Nelson Boils:
No,i don't "accept" it,neither do I "welcome" it.I do not let them "lay" their hands on me.
I don't even think God listens to their prayers.
Dave in Tenn:
It never happens. I don't doubt that some pray for me on occasion privately. God's will be done, regardless of what they ask. My mother prayed for me while I was deep in the world. The Lord answered her prayers, but not in the way she expected, and I've told her so. He does the same for me.
octoberose:
Christ followers pray for me all the time- and I have never heard them say anything I would not agree with- and most of you would agree with what I hear also.
Mark 9- 8 John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name,[f] and we tried to stop him, because he was not following us.” 39 But Jesus said, “Do not stop him, for no one who does a mighty work in my name will be able soon afterward to speak evil of me. 40 For the one who is not against us is for us. 41 For truly, I say to you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ will by no means lose his reward.
So- I say- let them pray. :)

I understand that He burdens only His Called Out Called out Elect to pray according to His Will and Intentions; and He does not hear the prayers of the others.
This does not mean that He does not care for the non-Elect; as He is LOVE personified; and imparts desires in His Elect to pray for the wicked and the Elect, and the ignorant too.
He is over all, and I do not believe we should be overly concerned about who prays for us or not; as He has us in His Heart and Mind all day long.
I hope this helps.
Kind Regards.
Prayerful George.
