How to pray for a soul whom I will never see on earth?

How to pray in unknown and unknowing if this soul prays for me too or if this soul is still here or passed?

Pray for my unworthy soul, for peace and some health. Thank you. Forgive me.
Unworthy, Marian +

Marian,
This may seem weird or selfish but think of the joy you will have of knowing what your prayers have done for this person when you FINALLY get to meet him/her in Heaven. Think of the joy, your prayers may have contributed in his/her deliverance from: drug abuse, pornography, devil worship, adultery, abortion, homosexual sins, murder, theft, lying, blasphemy, the list could go on and on... So if you are praying for someone you don't know think of the joy of finally meeting him/her in heaven and all the catching up you will do with him/her!

I know that I probably won't get to meet any of you on the forum, but I appreciate any prayers that you offer for me and I certainly will give every single one of you the BIGGEST HUG I can when we all meet in Heaven.
Know that you all are in my prayers!!!

Dr. Eric

Dear, in Christ, Marian!

How to pray at all!

Prayer is the unseen thread that connects us all, and makes strangers to be friends, and the unknown, intimately known. Prayer is Christ, who gathers us together and saves us from individualism and isolation.

Prayer knows no boundaries, in space and time. For prayer is God's work, and like him, transcends all, enfolds all, and re-orders all according to his will.

the unworthy,
Elias

Prayer is the soul's coversation with God. No matter whom you pray for, God is reached. Let all of your prayers be an example of what goodness is inside your soul. Take comfort in knowing that many people have been touched by your soul's kind words of prayer.
