But both are made the same way. You're asking the invisible man to do something for you. This sounds like the no true scotsman's fallacy. It wasn't a true prayer unless something good happened.
no.
Prayer (per the only example of prayer we are given by Christ) is Acknoweledging God's power and authority, Asking God's will to rule our lives/for his want and will to come first, Asking for our basic needs, Asking for giveness of our sin if we can for give others, and to keep us from evil.
Everything else is considered petition.
Well. This is like determining what isa miracle and what is not. I tsa fallacy
