Once again, it is the form rather than the content that got the "question" deleted. Y!A has nothing against people in NZ who need prayer. However, Y!A is meant to be an information exchange site, not a general communications forum. Questions here should be seeking information or advice that is beneficial to the community in general. A prayer request isn't. Asking for prayer is certainly beneficial, but it isn't seeking information or advice. It violates the Q&A format here because it isn't a question that is truly seeking an answer.

It is solicitation under the rules. Prayer requests are asking people to do something, not answer a question. Under the rules, it is no different than asking "Go outside and dig a hole for me". Also, imagine the site with all the "Pray for me, I have an exam tommorrow?" posts or the "Pray to Bono, the rock of the forest for me so that I may get tonight's lottery number.?" It would get pretty silly. YA is silly enough as it is. For the Lady Eagle user, there are lots of sites on the web to post prayer requests that are more appropriate.

Sounds like it was not a question and was a violation for chat.
You cannot post "appeals". Only questions seeking knowledge.

Prayer requests are against the rules of the site. They are not questions and are considered 'solicitation' - that is, asking the users to DO something other than answer a question that seeks knowledge.
