So yes God already does know the future.
Chameleon: I think the person who said they would pray for me was praying for me to become Christian. That would mean that it "worked" if I came into work and said I had suddenly became a person of faith. What they don't get is that there is no will of God. We all make things happen ourselves and that's it. Those who say they do it to be smug are correct too. I do believe that some people are so into it that they truly believe there is a heaven and maybe they get upset at the thought of their friends and family not being with them forever. I can see where that would upset someone who believed that there is life after death.
