Seems disrespectful to me, to remind God to protect anything or anyone--thats like assuming he doesn't know. Or that he's not doing enough. Or that its his responsibility to do something.I can understand the concept of asking for something, which fits in with the parent-child relationship that the Bible promotes between god and the believer. But there are so many ways to interpret the "results" of prayer in light of the idea that everything must go according to god's plan, that any outcome is evidence of god's response to prayer. In that sense, every prayer winds up convincing the Christian that god does listen.
Makes sense. On the other hand that means that Anything that happens is gods doing then. Unless its bad in which case its the believers fault-- or the devil attacking your faith in the good. All I have to say to that is:

Where's the good in this?
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.
