This is a pet peeve of mine. I think it's great that you love God and you pray to him, and don't get me wrong here, I'm not complaining that you do love God. Posting Bible verses to help your friends out is one thing. Verses can be inspirational to those who stumble upon your status. But posting things that are supposed to resemble actual prayers to God are stupid. Excuse me, but does God have a Facebook account? Will God NOT hear your prayer if you DON'T post a status?
You are supposed to pray to God in private. It even says so in the book you worship, something about not BOASTING your love for God and that He doesn't want you to pray to him on a street corner where anyone and all can see or hear. Your relationship with God doesn't need to be displayed for Him to pay attention to you.
To me, when I see prayer statuses on Facebook (and I'm not talking about asking people to pray when you have a sick friend or family member, that's totally understandable), but posting a status like, "God, please give me a pizza" is stupid (so is that example, but you get the idea). If you want to ask God for a pizza, then fucking ask him for a pizza, don't post a status on Facebook, like you're fucking showing off for your friends that you lurve Jeezus. It's arrogant. Keep your prayers between you and God.
