It's just the day and age we live in. Prayer takes a backseat to everything else.

Or perhaps those who believe in prayer also believe the Lord instructed his people not to call attention to their prayers.

Something about praying in secret.

Apparently you both missed my point. There is a pretty good chance that if you say something about praying for anyone on social media, you are going to get ripped for having an imaginary friend. My post was in direct response to Pox's post about why you don't see anything about prayer on social media.

No doubt there are people praying, but you can't broadcast it on social media without being ripped by those who don't believe in prayer and God.

Yeah, you shouldn't go around patting your back about prayer, but no one said anything about that. And the posts that both Pox and I are talking about are not those. It's the "we need to be praying for these innocent lives that were lost" posts that you aren't seeing much of, as opposed to the "ban guns" fights going on, or the "guns don't kill people, terrorists kill people" posts.

You missed your own point. People that are truely praying aren't talking about it. I'm not one of those so no I'm not patting my back.

Maybe you should resd the below to understand what I said.

"INSTEAD OF PROMOTING PRAYER FOR THE PEOPLE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES AND THEIR FAMILIES?"

Is that clear enough for you? My response was directly to his question of why there isn't anyone promoting prayer on social media. I'm not denying that there are people that pray and don't post. Can we get past that? My point is: YOU GET ATTACKED ON SOCIAL MEDIA WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT PRAYER!! That is nust as much reason why people do not post now.
