Share your prayer concerns with the rest of the group so that we can pray for one another in a spirit of love. Let's also share our items of praise as well!
Since this is a PUBLIC area, requests should be in a general nature rather than revealing intimate details. [/b]
The above quote is the heading as it is written under the title "Have You Prayed About It?" that is visible to all on our main "My Community" page. AN IMPORTANT REQUEST- I would respectfully request that when asking for prayer in this area that definite names of husbands, wives, children, etc. not be written in your post as this is a very public area and these people could read these posts or someone that knows you and your family might be reading as well.
As administrator of these forums, I receive the emails from upset people who are named on our forums and must deal with them as I already have in the recent past after deleting a post due to it mentioning one of our members of Christian Photographers in a derogatory fashion.
The Lord knows all about our problems and prayer requests even before we decide to ask for prayer and there's absolutely nothing wrong with doing as Janet did some time back when she posted "Specific but Unspoken Prayer Request". We all prayed about her unspoken request and the Lord knew all about what we were praying for.
So, again, may I request that we don't go into intimate details of our family problems on this very public forum? We're Number Two in the Google and Altavista Search Engines and the statistics on our site prove that many hundreds of people come to our area daily but are not members. They can all read everything on these boards. This is NOT a closed site to the public and it never will be.
- I realize that there are times when mentioning the name of the person we are praying for is just fine as the persons themselves requested the prayer for a specific reason. This is alright.
Thanks so very much for understanding in this.
- Also, would you let us know when a request is over? In that way, the topic can then be deleted to conserve room on our forums. Just drop either myself or one of the Moderators an IM and we'll be happy to look after this for you.
