I sure that this post will not be taken the right way.
While many think "prayer" accomplishes something, in the real world, all it does is make someone believe they are doing good, when in reality they are doing nothing of merit, or nothing tangible.
That said, I don't think it is a malicious, or will fill doing of nothing, as these "prayers" are done with a good heart, it's just that nothing will be accomplished except for the participants can all pat each other on the back and have the "illusion" that they did something.
I suggest, rather, that you do something that will actually provide results. Hold a fund raiser to donate money, food, clothing to the victims. Actually go to the location of this tragedy and offer to help work or clean up. Work to find an alternative location for this congregation to collect.
Again, don't get me wrong, I don't want you to stop praying, rather, it would be better to just start DOING.
Wow, 7:06, that hurts, but guess you have a point.
