Become A (Million Prayer) Millionaire?

[KKranz]

It's been a number of years since I've been back here ... so, please let me know if I'm doing anything wrong.

My purpose (today ... now that I'm retired ... is to share something(s) I've learned over the past few years.

Specifically ... here ... I had a young person at my church challenge me into "out-praying" him. I did just that with a pivot table that "pushes out" one million prayers in less than five seconds. He admitted I WON!

Please feel free to let me know if this would be helpful to anyone.

Does it really count if the "prayers" are just being generated by a computer?

And in praying do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their many words. (Matt. 6:7)

As near as I can tell OP wrote some code in Excel that will generate the text of a prayer a million times. OP may think this is equivalent to actually praying a million times.

Also apparently praying is a competitive sport now.

Oh, that's...that's..let say inspirational.

I can write a VBA code which will fill each cell with a different prayer. So that he can beat the young person.

This is nothing more than a pivot table ... that allows the user to double click on the number (1,000,000) ... and create a table with the prayer (in this case The Lord's Prayer) reproduced/prayed 1 million times.

Output from the above ...

Prayers need to be spoken, not just typed. Perhaps you'd like something along the lines of: Information Age Prayer | Know that your prayers will always be said, though only the cover page seems to work these days. For commentary, see: Informationageprayer.com recites your prayers | WWRN - World-wide Religious News. It doesn't seem to have been a raging success...
