Prayer requests on Facebook have officially reached a level of absolutely ridiculous.  |

Omg. I'm kind of horrified that anyone would pray about thAt for themselves.

She actually said she was getting on the treadmill to get beach ready and to pray for her. She may have meant that she was requesting prayers that she doesn't pass out...but still not something I'm going to pray for and not phrased well.
I can't wait until DD graduates high school and I no longer have any reason to be concerned with whats going on with many of the people in our small community. I would like to purge about 50% of my friends list right now but want to stay informed re. her peers and their families. I'm surprised my eyes haven't rolled completely out of my head.

Also, this really seems like a process that should have started a few months back, no?

I would comment I'm sorry I'm busy praying for people with cancer, the people in Israel and those shot down in the Malaysian aircraft. I'm not sure if I can squeeze in praying for your azz too. Hopefully she meant it in a joking way. Like I'm going in pray for me when I'm getting ready to dig into cleaning or a project of course this is usually said to my DH.

If Facebook deleted all workout, food, or relationship related posts...there would be no Facebook!  I'd be snarky and tell her you are focusing your prayers on the families of the victims of the plane crash. |

She probably did mean to pray that she didn't kill herself on the treadmill, but I feel ya'. When she does finally get beach ready, be prepared for selfies with [HASH]soblessed" or something similar. I have that FB friend. Oh boy is she blessed. Blessed at the beach and the golf course and the girls weekends.  |

I don't know her that well IRL, so I'll just sit on my hands tonight. I do that a lot. Facebook was not this...interesting? ridiculous? inclusive of so much personal detail? until I moved here and started friending people outside of my immediate circle of friends, family, and coworkers. There is a mom of a girl DD cheered with with who had an affair with one of the dads of another cheerleader the year before last. They reconciled, and now she's having an affair with the Dad of yet another cheerleader. All of this has played out on FB, including comments about the fist fight she got into in the parking lot of the local grocery with the girl that outed her first affair to the DH. Also relationship status changing from Married to In a Relationship with new guy with nary a single in between. Pray for me to keep my mouth shut and my typing fingers in check.  |

Well, I won't ask for prayers for a beach ready body. Mostly because I am going to the beach anyway-with all my flab, fluff and dimples in full view of the world. I will, of course, groom myself appropriately, so I suppose I could ask for prayers that the razor in my hand doesn't slip and cut my "love button" off. Beyond that, you should probably worry about the people sharing the beach with me as I don't give a rats behind about how I look and they are the ones who have watch my arms flapping in the breeze. |

Amen! How I get bikini ready. 1. Get a bikini 2. Put it on my body. |

At first I read this as "pay," not "pray."  ? Both requests equally bizarre! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I have seen some pretty dubious prayer requests particularly a couple I can think of at 2 Peas. They actually made me pretty angry at the time.

I hope she was joking. That brings narcissism to a new level.

Are you sure she wasn't saying it tongue in cheek? Unless my friend was a bible thumper who routinely posted about prayer and scripture I would probably think she really didn't mean for me to pray. |

I would think that she meant it tongue in cheek after reading your update a little further down of how she said it.

Eh - this is pretty low on my outrage scale. In the same post where I mentioned a houseful of preteen girls for a sleepover - I asked for prayers and wine. I suppose for some prayer isn't something to joke about, but I'm not one of those people.

I sometimes throw "pray for me" at the end of silly things I'm dreading. I really don't want prayers though--just being funny. Gosh, now I'm worried though! |

Not to disparage all the sincere prayer threads, but when I found out my exH was having a long term affair, I found this song was one of the few things that could make me smile through my tears: I'll Pray for You |
