I'm not sure about many other religions, but from a Protestant Christian view it works perfectly (at least from the world view that I believe). The purpose of the church is to create community, and corporate prayer is extremely important. Your idea helps voice prayers in general, which provides basis for emotional/spiritual support. A few situations come in mind: A member may post a prayer, where someone else may pray the same prayer in support or pray a general prayer for the original poster. You had also mentioned finding solace in others with the same prayer. Furthermore, a community like this would encourage genuineness and authenticity, due to a deliberate act of vocal expression that incites self-analysis. Obviously, problems with people intentionally trolling or disrupting activity would be a large issue, but may actually increase awareness and may help explain many misconceptions and dispel stereotypes. By the way, great ideas and thank you for mentioning me. I really like this idea.

I totally agree with you, "support" is the core value of this sort of community. Also, it would be nice If supporters can get to know the original poster, and support them in the real world. btw, I suppose you are a Chinese? (from your last name, Liu.) Hi Brian~
