Really? So when someone wants to know what career path they should choose, they can pray to your deity and he will answer them? If someone wants to to know if they should open a business, they can pray to your deity and he'll let them know? If someone needs advice on how to invest their money, your deity will help out?
If this is true, then everyone should have a successful career, businesses should never fail and no one should ever go bankrupt.
That's using prayer as a "spare tire", you are looking at prayer the wrong way.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
