Not according to any modern dictionary. as a petition in this instance represents a formal request of a personal want. If one is mandated the one 'request' something then it ceases being a request. It ceases being a want and becomes a Need.(May 9, 2017 at 1:23 pm)Divinity Wrote: Is God's plan really perfect if he had to drown most of the fucking population?
It meant to do that from the very beginning (nudge nudge wink wink).

1)Prayer is always answered in the positive by God.
2) Most of what 'we' call prayer isn't. It's call petitioning God.
To pray is found in luke 11 forward. (The Lord's prayer) this prayer is about acknowledging God and asking God to change our will to His will. To make us pleasing to Him. (among other things.) That is the only example of prayer we have. All else is to petition God according to Jesus and Paul.
So I guess what your asking is does God answer petitions. The answer is yes so long as it does not lead you to sin or corrupt the nature of God as described in the bible.(makes you paint God in a wrong way)
In my own personal experience I know it seems like I can literally ask for anything, and I can get what I want (not free of cost or consequence) Which is the reason I ask for little. Because I understand the cost "things" we want.
Better to be poor and content than wealthy and obligated to care for what you have.
bold mine
False assertion. Asking for daily bread is a petition.
Move along.
