Dear God

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008 | God

Ever wondered what other people are praying about?

Dear-God.net is a blog that posts prayers that people write in. According to them, “It doesn’t matter what your version of God is…Jesus, Allah, Buddha or simply a spiritual universal energy…” and goes along with the [scientifically proven] idea that prayer makes people “healthier, happier, and more resilient.”

It was started a few weeks ago, and I think it’s a cool idea, actually. People can leave comments on the different prayers, and most of the ones I’ve read offer encouragement and hope. Whether or not the original person reads it, I’m sure there will be other people who can identify and hopefully find some reassurance, or advice. No matter what the plight, there’s always someone who’s been through it before, as evidenced by the wealth of “That was me.” comments.

I think one of the nice things that go along with the “prayers” are the photos. People are encouraged to send in photos representative of their submissions, but if not, DearGod will find a fitting stock photo. It adds a nice visual touch to the message.

All in all, I think Dear-God.net is an interesting idea, and could potentially be a great resource for people. Even if you don’t believe in God, if nothing else it makes for a good read.
