All these things make me wonder what will become of mankind if we do not change our ways.
I began to think how could people change things for the better. Then it came to me prayer was the answer. If EVERYONE prayed for the same thing God would answer us. So why do we not have a WORLD PRAYER DAY, asking God for forgiveness, and world peace. The date for this event is March 17 2010 3:00 p.m. GMT. Since this will be a worldwide event and we all want to be united in prayer, for some it will not be March 17. It may mean some people will be praying in the early hours of the morning. For others it will be late in the evening. The year 2010 was chose so that hopefully by that time everbody around the globe will have heard of WORLD PRAYER DAY. People can pray wherever they want at their place of worship, or at home, or at work. It does not matter where you pray just so long as you do so. Though all religions are different they all have the same base of good moral standards. I do not believe any religion will oppose this idea.
You may think to have WORLD PRAYER DAY is impossible, but I believe it is possible if properly advertised. That is why we need help in advertising the idea. This can be done by you posting this info on other sites/forums. By telling family and friends and then they to can forward the news of WORLD PRAYER DAY.
Prayer is for everyone so everyone should try to pray. Remember we are all sinners.
Prayer put to a scientific test:
Cup both of your hands. Defecate into your left hand and then pray that your right hand will likewise be filled. Has anyone's right hand become filled? Even sometimes? Even infrequently? Even rarely? If never, then the power of prayer should be obvious.

Despite the charlatan preachers practicing faith-healing (Jim Jones did it) and the many prosthetic devices left at Lourdes France, praying has no proof that it can produce any physical result. Lacking evidence, it is a jesture of futility.
