Prayer is not a suggestion box for God, even if the majority of people pretend that it is. Prayer is internally oriented. You don't pray for money to rain from the sky. God is not a genie.
Just curious, how would you interpret this passage, then?
Matthew 21:21-22
21 Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done. 22 If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”
John Adams Wrote:The Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.
