To me no. Matthew 18:20 For where two or more are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.

Answer by GrnEyedGrandma at 5:42 PM on Mar. 20, 2011
IMO no.

Answer by But_Mommie at 5:47 PM on Mar. 20, 2011
No. But I tend to know the people I'm asking. And because I know them, I don't ask specifically for prayer, but for "faithing," which is kind of a code that my group came up with to include prayer, candle lighting, good thoughts, etc.

I see no problem at all. I def only ask those I know. I wouldnt go up to a random person or a heathen and ask for a prayer....lol

Answer by Steph319 at 6:05 PM on Mar. 20, 2011
I would only ask an other Christian to pray for me. If I dont know the person I wouldnt ask because I dont know who they pray to

Answer by god4gives at 10:21 PM on Mar. 20, 2011
To be honest, I've never really thought about it being right or wrong. I may have to sit on my brain for a while.
