Jesus gave a model of what prayer out to look like, in the Lord’s Prayer. You know what’s absent in that prayer? Praying to avoid death, suffering, sick babies, missing children, etc....

Praying is not about changing Gods mind, but about the changing of ours, as evident in the Lord’s Prayer.

That's not the case.

In The Lord's Prayer the petitioner is asking God to not lead them into temptation but to deliver them from evil.  Isn't that asking God to change his mind if his mind was made up to go the temptation route?
