More prayer?

[Darkwing Duck]

Is there any reason to pray for something that someone else is already praying for?

If a church member gets sick and their spouse prays for them, is there any reason for anyone else in the church to pray for that person? Do you believe that the more people that pray for the same thing increases the liklihood of God answering their prayers? If you do believe this, upon what Scriptural foundation do you base that?

If God chooses not to answer someone's prayer is there any reason to think he'll change his mind if a different person prays for the same outcome?

 

[Tarheel Baptist]

Matthew 18:19-20 comes to mind.

I could then ask "Is there any reason not to have multiple people praying for your request"?

 

[HeDied4U]

Matthew 18:19-20 comes to mind.

I could then ask "Is there any reason not to have multiple people praying for your request"?

James 5:14 comes to mind as well...."Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord."

Hmmmm, plural, not singular.
