Prayer board etiquette

IndianInlaw:
Every day, I post on several prayer boards.  One site will allow you to light virtual candles and will inform you of this, via email.  The emails are generated by the site, so you don't know who is who.

Every day, on several sites, I ask for people to pray for Cop to return to me. Whether or not that is wise or unwise is a moot point.

I get lots of prayer notifications.  Some include kind and reassuring messages. 

This morning I received one that says "Forget Cop and get on with your life". 

How flippin' rude to presume they know what's best for me.

I guess I gotten too comfortable with those nice people and let my guard down.

I usually save the messages, but I deleted this one and emptied the trash as fast as I could.

It's a prayer board, for cryin' out loud!

May I ask who Cop is?

I was not on the original board and was only on the 2nd one for a day or two before it went down. I think I missed something

(((IndianInlaw))) ugh, I'm so sorry. You know I know how you are feeling and you need love and support now, not people telling you how you should be feeling.

When the Marine and I broke up most of my friends were TRYING to be supportive, but they did it in a "he's an yoohoo! Moderators!  Ban me now! and you deserve so much better and you should be SO glad you did not marry him!!!" kind of way, which was NOT what I needed. Of course, now that we are *kind of* back together, guess who I forgot to tell? hmph!

Anyway, I will pray for God to guide you in your pain and relationship with The Cop. I have a hard time praying for things to happen a certain way (even for me). This is the prayer I still say daily about The Marine... God, please light the path you have for me and guide me along it. If this is the man for me, please show me that, and if it is not, please tell me that so that I can move on.

I pray for you to find peace, and I hope it is the peace that you are wishing for.... but even if it's not, you so deserve it!!!!

Whoever emailed you that needs to stay off the prayer boards!

How awful! How is that a prayer for you? It sounds more like an insult. :(
Whatever their opinion of your request, they shouldn't be posting this kind of stuff on a prayer board.

Tabris:
Even if someone was irritated with what you were asking prayers for, it's a prayer board and not an advice board. They should have been quiet and simply prayed for something else.

Are you going to continue posting there?
