There are 2.1 Billion Christians in the world. Say one in 100 sends a prayer to God each day; that’s 210 Million prayers a day.
If a prayer lasts about 1 minute, that’s going to take 12,600,000,000 seconds in total.
There are 86,400 seconds in a day
So that’s 145,833 prayers a second 24/7 year in, year out and this isn’t going to get any better as time goes on and the world population increases.
Can we have a bit of consideration for God? He is extremely busy running the Universe. He wants to care for you, but you are not helping with your whining about things that He has already under control.
He knows everything and therefore He knows about the starving in Africa; the warring parties in the Middle East, your sick aunt Sarah and the fact you've been sacked from Wal-Mart, so don't bother repeating it.
Can I ask that True Christians™ (i) restrict their prayers to urgent cases, e.g. the removal, in disgrace, of Obama or the imminent death of a Pastor and (ii) that pastors aggregate the congregation’s prayers into one large but concise prayer?
Thank you in advance.
