Jesus didn't use a ratings sheet

We read "Jesus went about healing all manner of sickness,and delivering all those who were afflicted of the devil"The word here is ALL.Because I notice on the site, one person on the site{or me}posts about a problem, another posts about a different kind of problem, and the 1 person gets maybe 1 reply 45 minutes later, and that's it, and the other gets 5 replies within 10 minutes. And I notice which type of requests get more play. Now the problem, I don't think this would be happening if we didn't have what I call a "ratings sheet",where we come to our own conclusions about which problem is more "important"..Remember, Jesus healed ALL. He didn't have a" ratings sheet," and show partiality towards one persons problem over another.To the person dealing with what's considered the" lesser problem", to them it's just as much a problem as the 1 who got 10 replies.Also, not everyone has the same problem.I don't believe in the "ratings sheet".Who are we to judge whose problem merits more attention?God is no respecter of persons.

What ratings sheet? We get on here and pray certain times and there is a post, we pray for it. Some of us have friends that we are friends with and we see they posted something so we pray for them. Some people don't post anything but they still pray. I don't see why we need to trouble ourselves with any thoughts about who has more prayers posted with their post. If we post something & no one seems to agree or post anything does God still hear that prayer? Of course He does









I get on at times and I see someone posting something as if they didn’t hear anything I shared and even though I may not post anything I still pray for them









Not him or her again, Lol. Does he or she go back to look at who prayed & posted for them? Do they know that they can? We don't need to trouble ourselves with those kind of thoughts. We pray for them & leave them in Jesus' care, Jesus knows what they need better than we do.









I don't notice these blogs very often and there is a lot of tools and resources that I haven’t ever looked at but that doesn't mean I won't or don't care.

God still holds us in the same standing no matter the response rate, but I'm concerned about the people responding have set ideas about who's request is more "serious".,which is their own judgement call, and maybe apparent favoritism.Remember, it's written , Jesus healed ALL those afflicted.He didn't make a "judgement call".

You aren't getting what I'm saying. Me personally, I get on here at times with my smart phone and there is a post that was there the last time I got on and there is messages from friends in my upper right hand corner. I look at those first, I'll pray for those first then I'll start going through new posts if I have time. What difference does it make if I or anyone else posts something at a time a lot were on to post a comment or prayer to someone else's post?









Jesus says take no thought for your life, doesn't He? Is this a part of your life that you don't need to trouble yourself with?









Here I am trying to help you understand why this could happen. Does it matter or make any difference what so ever to God?









How many people did I post a prayer for or miss while I was trying to help you?









Your answers to all of your life's situations are always going to be to take no thought for your life. If you stop putting your thoughts in the middle of things and put Jesus thoughts into them then you will understand better

I know, everyone can't look at everything at the same time. So granted, maybe it's just bad timing. But it also seemed that if I post that I have problems with annoying people, or am too busy and need things to slow down, or say, Natasha posts about noisy neighbors, we'll get say 2 responses, but someone posts about a financial problem or a sickness, they get 10 responses.Now I've had people out in the world actually say that they rate one persons problem over.{"You think YOU got problems?Look at so and so."}So maybe I heard that so many times in the world and don't expect it from Christians,that I somehow thought that might be a reason.I was just making a point.

I don't want to be or sound rude, don't you think that God has or shows favor one over another? Didn't God love Jacob and hate Esau and at that even before they were born? What about Kane and Abel, did God love Abel's sacrifice over Kane's? If I blindly take no thought for my life because Jesus said that and someone else refuses to stop thinking about their life, who is God going to favor?









I have had the same thoughts as you about a group of believers jumping on one persons posts over another's and asked for God's wisdom on that. It is something that first of all doesn't or shouldn't matter to us. Is it going to change my relationship with Jesus? They probably had more friends over the next that got alerted is the best answer along with timing.









All we need to concern ourselves with is Jesus and our relationship with Him. Are we going to do what Jesus says or not? If we start thinking about others and their relationship with Jesus are we going to be like Kane? Or should we just do what Jesus says and not worry about another or think about ourselves?









Either way, I say; Thank You, Praise You Lord Jesus! Glory to You Lord Jesus!
