Let's say you have talked to someone about God, and the need for salvation. Let's say you pray for that someone's salvation, then after a while, you keep thinking that it'll never happen. Does that mean your lack of Faith in that happening could have an effect on that person's "walk" with God, or lack there of?

example:
This person has said "numerous" times that he would go to Church or to a "singing"; but, when it comes down to the wire he finds a reason he can't go. The person (you) who asked them to go, says to themself, "I knew he wouldn't go".

Is that in a way promoting failure in the one who was asked? Doesn't the way we "feel" that something is gonna happen come across in the way we speak, and act?

And if we are not believing in Faith, why do we bother praying?

I know some people say things like, " If you don't expect something, then you won't be disappointed or hurt when it doesn't happen." Is that the way a Christian should think? I think people who say that sometimes are trying to say not to depend on the fact the person says that they will go, but, to know that God can and will move that person in His time. In other words, don't depend on the person, but, only know God will work in that person's life.

I mean the purpose of the prayer is to believe that the person will be saved. If one doesn't believe, because time continues on without the persons salvation, that they will never come to know Jesus; has the one praying "lost" their faith in God?

These are just some thoughts.......... I heard some people talking about something like this.


God bless you all, and may you always be found, centered upon His will, in the hollow of His hand.
