[QUOTE="Archived_Member16, post: 150458, member: 884"] [COLOR="Navy"][B][SIZE="5"]Intercessory Prayer & Waheguru's Will.[/SIZE][/B] Sat Siri Akaal, friends. In doing my morning prayers I keep seeing lines in Japji & elsewhere about God's pre-ordained will and that He determines all things that happen, also that we must accept these things as divinely commanded. Does this mean then that it is wrong to pray for others? Let's say if a person is ill with cancer or needs surgery, or if someone needs a job soon, is it to be considered trying to change the mind and will of Waheguru? I even feel the need to pray for my cat who is diabetic! Can we at least hope for answers to prayer for others, if it is appropriate to do so? I know that a lot of the "miracle-making" seen among televised & sensationalized ministers is a bunch of hooey and showmanship for money. Is it wrong then to ask of God himself to give graces and healing to those who need it; or better to ask for the strength to accept His will without ******* [B]REPLY[/B] ******* Sat SIri Akaal.
