Seriously though, sometimes it relieves that burden someone is carrying and I have no problem with that.
Unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do? I don't think so.

I'm not understanding.
For example:
Someone tells me some situation they have in their life and they ask me to pray. I say I will.
So in service the pastor or whoever is taking prayer requests asks if anyone has an "unspoken request". I raise my hand indicating "yes".
How is someone praying for an unspoken prayer request ... possibly not even knowing who the person is who has the need ..... going to be more effective than me - who knows what the need is and knows who the person is - praying for that individual?
We're off topic a bit here I know .... but I've always thought it was kind of useless.
