2. I am not particularly remarkable in any way
nor have I done anything that is noteworthy.
The prayer you put for me was answered.
Maybe there’s a place for me in this world after all.
3. Significant personal losses have caused me to question my
faith and wonder if God is there or if He cares for me.
The work you do resonated with me and has begun to
rekindle my faith.
Thank you for this gift.
5. I have been struggling with a lifelong addiction. My
journey to overcome my weaknesses is spiritual and I
believe it was ignited when I first sent a prayer.
I have a lot of work to do and still have to deal with
many painful things, but I have hope and I see a
bright light at the end of a very long tunnel.
6. My mother underwent surgery a little over a month later and
now, nearly 3 months after her initial diagnosis, is cancer free.
Alon, I want to thank you and your team from the bottom of my
heart for sacrificing so much of your own personal time to help
strangers around the world get their prayers closer to God.
7. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your
great endeavor. It means more than you even will
realize while you are here on earth. May the Lord
bless and keep you.
8. I finally Sold my old house. The house was on the
market for a year. I was paying 2 mortgages. A week
after I tweeted my prayer to you, I had an offer!!!
Baruch Hashem!!! and thank you @thekotel !!!
9. I was determined to get our family's prayer
heard, so I tweeted my prayer to @TheKotel.
It was only after that tweet in the wee hours of
the morning that I started to feel hopeful for
the first time since hearing the dreadful news.

11. Recently, my cousin was passing away from a rare and
incurable cancer. @TheKotel team placed a prayer for me
that simply asked for my cousin's soul to be safely taken to
heaven. After he passed, and through the grief, I felt a sure
and certain peace, which I know means my prayer has been
answered.
@TheKotel has done a great service for us, without ever
knowing how special it was to us. Twittering prayers to the
Western Wall is a wonderful and inspiring idea, and I
encourage everybody to support this beautiful thing by
'paying it forward'.
Such selfless acts for fellow human beings restores my hope
for the future of humanity. The @TheKotel team has earned
my family's respect and gratitude, and I am sure we're not
the only ones!
12. When my husband was out of work for almost two
years my daughter sent a prayer to the Western
Wall for us. Not only did it give us great comfort and
hope but within a couple of days my husband
received a job offer.
Bless you Alon for doing this important work and
for truly being G-d's messenger here on earth. You
and your selfless acts of kindness and mercy should
be well rewarded.
13. Not only has God healed my heart but he has made a
way for us to get by financially in December. Both of
these prayer requests were put in the Western Wall
thanks to you answering God’s call for your life.
God bless you Alon! You are a great friend.
14. After my car accident this fall I felt hopeless. I
already had back problems that left me in
horrific pain every single day; the car accident
left me in more pain than I could ever imagine.
I felt completely hopeless. But Alon took my
husbands prayer to heal me and put it in the
wall. He brought back hope to both of us as I
began to heal.
15. Hello Man of God! Imagine my prayers to the
Kotel has been answered. How I thank Papa for
using you to reach him!
16. I graduated medicine school in Cluj, Romania. To practice
medicine here you have to pass a quite difficult exam
called ‘rezidentiat’. Last year I didn't pass the exam and
there I was... a doctor without a place to work and with
nothing to do.
By the end of august I saw a TV report about you. I sent
you 2 prayers and I believe those prayers really helped
me.
I took the exam again and today I’ve found out that i am
number 756 from 5000 doctors who took the exam.
Which is unexpected and i am really happy. I am now
officially a doctor!
17. When I know or meet good human beings I just
look up in the Heavens and say thank you
Father. You are one of those people that I
consider Good. And I am so thankful that God
graced us with your life. Thank you. Take care
and God Bless you always…
18. I am so overwhelmed at the fact that my prayers are at the
Wailing Wall in Jerusalem as during that time I have crossed
over twice had a pace maker put in my chest and had
numerous autoimmune problems with me sense then so I am
so glad that God is hearing my prayers from a very Holy Place
as I need Him to here me.
19. When I received your email that you had placed my
prayer at the Wall, I cried.
G-d is so awesome that He would hear my cries for His
Blessings for me and my family among all the other
pleadings and Greater still that He would answer me.
20. God bless you for doing this. It is a blessing to those of us
that can never make it to the holy land. Praying for you
to have peace, prosperity, and protection. Thank you
again..it means everything to me. : )
21. Thank you so much. What a wonderful thing to do.
Hope grows one tweet, one prayer, one deed, one
person at a time. May G-d bless you.
22. Thank you. This explains all the wonderful
events happening in my life right now
23. When my 87 year old father-in-law fell ill this
summer, I felt helpless. As his condition worsened,
he was given a feeding tube and told that he could
only have it for 30 days, then something more
drastic would have to be done.
About this time I noticed The Kotel on Twitter. I
decided to send in a prayer. I am so glad I did,
because a week later, he was released from the
hospital, and is now able to enjoy life, food and
family.
24. Thank you so much for delivering my prayer!
We’ve seen some changes already! G-d bless
you!!
25. Back in February, I was laid off very unexpectedly. That alone would
be bad enough, but it was on my husband's last day of work as well
AND I was 18 weeks pregnant with our first baby!
As the days, weeks and months went by without a single job offer
we became more and more stressed and worried. We were praying
for a job, the right job for our family, to come along. I tweeted and
asked G-d to bless us with the best job opportunity for our family.
Literally days later, after MONTHS of fruitless searching, my
husband received TWO amazing job offers within an hour of each
other! We are so grateful that he found ANY work, let alone an
amazing job for his career and in a location we love where we have
friends and family.
I am so grateful to G-d for this opportunity and I am also so grateful
to the service that Tweet Your Prayers provides. Thank you for
helping our dreams come true!
26. I nailed the interview and got the job.
Thank you thank you thank you!
27. Thank you Alon for sharing your heart, expressed in love
through your time, effort, and dedication in this service. I
myself am very grateful for this gift. May you be Blessed in
all ways, and may you be open to knowing, seeing and
receiving these Blessings with unending gratitude.
28. Alon, thank you for doing what I wanted to, but could not. I
am so very grateful for you, the time you spent doing this and
dedication you take and show to do such a wonderful thing.
You truly are doing a great service in the name of our Lord.
