I believe in God but I kind of see where you're coming from. I don't ask God to do anything except watch over those who need it, and help me with my depression and anger issues if at all possible.
Well the point of prayer is not to Ask for things. prayer is Simple communicating with God. When you become a christian you allow God to be your Father and if He's your father why would you never talk to Him about things like a normal kid would do with their real dad? Look at what Jesus said "don't be like the pharasees and do long loud drawn out prayers to be seen. Go into descreatness and when you pray, say 'Our Father, who is in heaven: hallowed be thy name. thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. The kingdom is Yours forever and ever .' There are no questions asked. God is all knowing. If you're a christ follower: follow the example of christ. Jesus gave basic prayer instructions. Talk to God about How holy He is and show Him appreciation, declare your basic needs to be met (food, safety, peace). Its not something to do only when u need a miracle. Christianity is about giving God glory, so we should ask and pray and believe (because WE dont know God will intervein. He knows all not Us. Some prayers will br answered not ALL bcuz then the need 4 faith goes out the window. God is not ignorant to the fact that people tend to abuse wells that are good for water & completly take blessings for granted and waste them because there's "more where that came from". ). God wants us to pray and hope in faith that He will come though and when he does He is glorified. If someone its healed and no one prayed to God for their healing, God gets no glory in that. Prayer is much more about God and our test of faith thenabout us bowing our heads closing our eyes in ritual
What's the point of praying?
