We must realize that prayer is communication with God.

Not communicating regularly witH God will affect our relationship in a similar way as not communicating with our spouse/child/friend will affect our relationships with them.

Here is a simple problem with your philosophy

If God knows our every thought and every need what is the need for praying to him? To beg like a slave?

You all miss it.

God knows a our needs and grants us many of them without our asking. He does still, like it when we show our trust in him and humility by coming to him in prayer.

A parent knows most of the needs of the Child and grants many of them without the Child asking...but if the child and parent never communicate, the relationship suffers...and who would like that.

Prayer isn't just asking favours from God. It is communication with God...and it could even be you telling God: "Dad, I want to do what pleases you," simple as it may sound.

Don't let our pentecostal brothers deceive you into thinking that Christian prayer is all about "gimme this"..."Gimme that!"

Nonsense. You people claim that god is in our mind and is that little voice we hear. That is already communication


Prayer becomes excessive when you note the above

"What do you want me to do for you?" Jesus asked him. The blind man said, "Rabbi, I want to see."

Did Jesus NOT know what Bartimeus wanted? Of course He did but Bartimeus still had to ask. "The LORD our God has secrets known to no one" wink

Is there such a thing as excessive communication?? Communication is a two-way thing. As the Spirit speaks to you (perhaps through the 'little voice' you hear), you also repond and vice versa.

What is the use of talking to god when he knows what you want? To beg?


No wonder. He loves being begged. Only a psychopath would have angels singing to him everyday. Your god is an attention LovePeddler

Since we on the issue of prayers, what volume of prayers does god require in,lets say, a typical month?. we pray when we wake up, pray when we eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, and again before wee go to sleep. we pray about five times in a typical church session. This repetition, is it not a clear sign of doubts about god and his ability to not only hear, but also to deliver?

And I have always asked, but yet to receive answers:
What is the difference between prayer and special prayer?
