We're pretty poor if we can't stop for 15 seconds to say a prayer. I'm definitely in favor of everyone stopping for a contemplative moment before acting. It might nip a few arguments in the bud, that can only be helpful. Prayer can't be a high effort research post. We can't exceed the Lord's Prayer which in a few words consolidates all we can ponder on for years. So I say, though I don't update or comment most prayer threads, let them be if they improve cameraderie.

PS: That goes for individual prayer requests too. It's a sad thing when someone is so distressed they have to turn to strangers for consolation. Maybe a community of anonymous strangers they sort of know is better than the even less known strangers on the suicide hotline.
