Does one prayer really effect the outcome? I’m sure others are praying for this person or action why should our words or thoughts matter? Maybe because we are their instead of somewhere else. We have taken upon ourselves to shut off the rest of our life as it spins faster and faster to have a slow moment with G-D. Just as we would reward someone for “just showing up” so does the creator in whom’s image we have been created. Being there might be the prayers that count in determining who we are and whom or what lives on the next day.
