This was me as a Mormon. According to Ronedee's line of reasoning I should at least know something right now, but he claims I still know nothing. Looks like all that praying was worth dogshit after all.
This is very laughable (all responses)! When you've experienced God through Jesus.... and I mean personally, not through groups.... there is no way you can say what praying is worth! NONE!
Prayer transcends: time, space and understanding. You won't know just what (far reaching) effect prayers have until we meet God.
I, and my friends & family have prayed for many, MANY things, and can't think of [one time] they weren't answered in "some way". Not ONE!
God doesn't work in our time. He works in His. If there is a secret to prayer? That's it! I'd use an analogy...but you just twist them up like a party balloon!
If (at all possible) you could remove your animosity against God alone(not religious men, including me!) and ask, you will recieve.
It takes equal parts of: "believing and asking". The promise is there!
Matthew 7:7Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
Quis ut Deus?
