Question Posted Saturday November 17 2007, 1:08 am
okay i hope this doesnt sound really stupid, but... a girl in my town just died and everyone is posting bulletins saying "please pray for her." and i feel really stupid because im not sure what were praying for? i mean, if she was sick or injured id be praying for her to get better. and i can see praying for her family and friends that they will be able to get through this. but when they say pray for her, do they mean pray that she'll go to heaven, or what? im sorry, i just want to understand what they mean.

You can also pray for her family, that they get through this. Also, praying for her could also mean you just talk to her. You could say something simple like "I hope everything's better now, I miss you. I hope you're happier now." Stuff like that.

What came to my mind first of all was that by the posters saying "pray for her" I think they mean pray that she will have a second life, pray that she is okay wherever it is that she has gone. But also they would probably like you to pray for her family and friends that they will get better from the sadness of her death etc.
