The problem with prayer.

[robvalue]

You are confusing petitioning for prayer.

When we petition we ask for what we want.

When we Pray we ask for what God wants for us.

God will always give us what he wants for us if we simply ask for it.

This however does not mean He will always give us what we want.

Then what use is He?

And what use is prayer? He just does whatever he was going to do anyway.

All a person is doing is saying that they hope such and such is part of gods plan. Either it is or it isn't, and that doesn't change by hoping it.
