Does this have anything to do with what I said?
I think part of praying to God is accepting his design in the universe and the way she acts.
Of course, Mary (Mariam), for example, received food directly from God. We all have to get food from the market. To say well Mariam got food from God so I'm going to just pray and wait to get food is making a mockery of God in my view.
I believe there is for example many conditions in which God will not guide people no matter how much they pray for guidance.
Another example is the phrase in Quran, Noah telling his people, if they ask forgiveness from God, God will increase their (will) power upon their power....
We can't just say the words and hope for a response. We truly have to be sorry and ask forgiveness believing God will forgive, then she will increase power upon our power.
As for God being a female, see the response in the other thread.
