(February 1, 2018 at 12:27 pm)pool the matey Wrote: A common misconception is that praying is simply a kind of channel through which you ask for a favor from God. This is exactly why prayer "doesn't work" for many people because everybody wants to know "what can God do for me?" but the very simple thought "what can I do for God" never crosses their mind. How will you receive anything if all you do is ask?

You have to ask the right god, Which you haven't done.
"For the only way to eternal glory is a life lived in service of our Lord, FSM; Verily it is FSM who is the perfect being the name higher than all names, king of all kings and will bestow upon us all, one day, The great reclaiming"  -The Prophet Boiardi-
