New York  - There was a time when people lit a candle in a church, if they wanted their prayers answered. But in the 21st century, that is so 1990. Now people publish their prayers on websites such as www. prayabout. com, www. ourprayer. com or www. ipraytoday. com in the hope that the Almighty is also checking out the cyber world for requests.

People who like the request can add their own prayers to lend support. It is unimportant whether the prayer comes from a person of the same faith as the emphasis is on the power of prayer. (dpa)
