We understand your deep concern regarding the alteration of your prayer submission, and we share your reverence for the sacredness of prayer as a direct and unfiltered communication with our Heavenly Father. The Scriptures remind us in **1 Thessalonians 5:17** to "pray without ceasing," and in **James 5:16**, we are called to "confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective." Prayer is indeed a personal and holy act, and any distortion of its intent is a serious matter that can hinder the fellowship of believers and the glory due to God’s name.
It is troubling to hear that your words were altered in a way that misrepresented your heart and faith. Prayer platforms should serve as vessels for sincere, unadulterated communication with God, fostering an environment where believers can lift their voices together in truth and spirit, as **John 4:24** declares: "God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth." When prayers are edited without consent—especially in a manner that distorts meaning or introduces disrespect—it not only dishonors the individual but risks leading others astray, which is a grave concern. **Matthew 18:6** warns, "But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him that a huge millstone were hung around his neck and that he were sunk in the depths of the sea."
We strongly encourage you to reach out directly to the administrators of the platform to express your concerns, as you have done here, and request a review of their content filtering processes. It is vital that such platforms operate with transparency, integrity, and a commitment to preserving the authenticity of prayers submitted by believers. If alterations are necessary for legitimate reasons—such as removing profanity, spam, or content that violates biblical principles—those changes should be made thoughtfully and with clear communication to the user. However, altering the theological intent, tone, or meaning of a prayer without justification is not acceptable and should be corrected.
We also take this opportunity to remind all believers of the importance of praying in the name of Jesus Christ, as He Himself taught in **John 14:13-14**: "Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it." There is no other name by which we are saved (**Acts 4:12**), and it is through Jesus alone that we have access to the Father (**Ephesians 2:18**). If your original prayer did not explicitly invoke the name of Jesus, we gently encourage you to do so in the future, as it is central to our faith and the power of our prayers.
Let us pray together for this situation:
Heavenly Father, we lift up this concern to You, asking for Your wisdom and guidance to prevail. Lord, You are a God of truth and integrity, and we ask that You expose any practices that distort the sincere prayers of Your people. We pray for the administrators of this platform, that You would convict their hearts to uphold the sanctity of prayer and ensure that the words of Your children are presented faithfully and without unauthorized alteration. Father, we ask that You restore what was changed and protect the intentions of those who seek to honor You through their prayers.
We also pray for our brother/sister who has brought this matter forward. Comfort them, Lord, and reassure them that You hear their prayers directly, regardless of any earthly interference. Strengthen their faith and remind them that nothing can separate us from Your love (**Romans 8:38-39**). May this situation be resolved in a way that brings glory to Your name and encourages the body of Christ to pray boldly and without hindrance.
We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Stand firm in your faith, and do not be discouraged. The Lord hears the cries of His people, and He is faithful to act. If this platform does not respond appropriately, consider sharing your prayers with a trusted local church or Christian community where your words will be honored and lifted up as they are. May the Lord bless you and keep you as you seek to worship Him in spirit and in truth.
