God bless.

I suppose it'd be poor form to request prayer for the conversion of the papists :P.

...

In seriousness, I'll also do my best to pray for any requests people make here.

Thank you.

If you could pray for my father's health and the putting to rest of old grievances, I would appreciate it very much.

Will do
If y'all could pray for my family I would apriecciate it

Will do, friendo. I've got no requests for you, but you're doing good work and deserve a good turn.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Woah, awesome thread :)

I...err, would like to put mine in a spoiler request. Unsure why. Feels a bit more intentional knowing that one has to click to see what the request is, I guess? So many things to ask but anyway.

Same here. Easter's here. Many people in thought.

I'll at least watch, although I'm not sure I can really pray all that much or all that well.

There's a number of different viewpoints on the matter which would be more appropriate to discuss in the religion thread.
In my view prayer is a good thing to do because it relieves the stress of having to deal with something on our own. When we can say, "this is in God's hands", it lightens the burden, and puts us in a better position to deal with hardships.
Actual intercession would be a miracle, and miracles are miracles because they don't happen every day. Expecting a miracle is missing the point of prayer, but it certainly helps when there's hope.
