You can pray for health of yourself and your family and other people you care about. You can pray for peace. You can pray for 1 billion dollars to come to your bank account.
But just a short while ago I read an article. Christians are admonished to pray for fear of God.
it is based on this bible quote.
Jer. 40 I will make an everlasting covenant with them: I will never stop doing good to them, and I will inspire them to fear me, so that they will never turn away from me.
It's very logical I think. As long as they will fear, they will tithe well.

ok. I go back to work.
Prayer is just wishful thinking. They can justify it however they want. There is no logical way a celestial being responsible for all the working of this universe has time to decipher the wishes and wants of those who pray and put them all into action. Even using the twisted logic of theists', the concept of prayer makes little sense.
