We shld only pray about things that matter and are spiritual, God will not come down to do for us what we can do for ourselves.

we should pray about everything, and commit our ways to God so that our thoughts can be Established. We should cast ALL our cares on God, trusting that He cares for us. its a romance, fellowship, communion. But we shouldn't abuse that into negligence and irresponsible lifestyles as common in nigeria.

Right. But we should also endeavor to generalize our prayer most times. I've noticed that what Nigerians pray mostly about are for property and against evil forces.

Good one. Prayer's personal responsibility. You can pray anything as long as it is in line with God's words. But we tend to be lazy and pray things to happen. We fail to prepare for exams & pray for excellent results.

No

Some things,Some situations need actions and not prayer.

Vivid Example Nigeria Situation Need action and not prayer

If you think its prayer we need then

We have the right to challenge God why he abandoned our prayers because Nigerians pray a lot.

both muslim and christian

A man in action does more than a thousand hands clasped in prayer.....Prayer is a medium that i believe its use is sacred and not meant to apply to everything.

I wonder why a country that prays, like Nigeria, is the way it is.
Re: Should We Pray Abt Everything? Electricity? Weather? And So On? by Eltonluigi(m): 11:16am On Jul 03, 2012
Prayer is just an over-hyped WISH, time to open your eyes and realise there is no Sky-daddy up there listening. You better wake up, get out, and get something. Why kneel down and pray when the whole world is running??

If God were to to have an e-mail, our prayers would have no other place to go than the spam box'cos, we don't match our religiosity with Godliness.

***we are just religious and not Godly***

The Bible says 'pray without ceasing' so believers can pray about everything. It is however important that we understand whay prayer is- it is a two way conversation withe the almighty so if i choose to ask God if i should step out of the house, it should not be anybody's problem. There are people who depend solely on the holy spirit and by extention God for everything including where to eat and what to eat. Prayer depends on the individual and its a personal thing. Some of the people making noise inside an enclosure called a church or mosque may not be praying

work and pray,the bible says,if u only pray without working to realise your goals,then your prayer will be of no effect.

Prayer is for the deluded and the helpless.The concept of praying is not even as rational as mentally deranged person/s speaking to psychiatrist/s about their problems.

Things change when people pretend God doesnt exist and resolve to do 100% of what needs to be done to succeed.
Re: Should We Pray Abt Everything? Electricity? Weather? And So On? by Stkingsley(m): 12:44pm On Jul 03, 2012
I believe in the power of prayer. I tell u an instance, once we were in a choir rehearsal and our keyboard was misbehaving, so our choir master asked us to pray, laying hand on the keyboard, whether by sheer providence or something, the keyboard started working and our rehearsal was successful.... i noticed while working to repair a lady's laptop that there were a lot of oil inside it, so i asked her why so many oils, she told me the laptop was misbehaving so after praying for d laptop, she ANOINTED IT, and that's why there were a lot of oil in it. But instead of healing it, it brought the laptop to my shop. HOWEVER, am not disputing the power of prayer, because it is used to unravel mysteries, heal wounds, mend broken hearts n promises and enjoy goodness.

We should pray about everything. God gave us breathe and without Jesus we can do nothing. Prayer is telling God how we have been faring since He lent us life by His grace. It makes God happy when we tell Him everything, the frequent communication strengthens our relationship with God.
