Nothing fails like prayer

You would have the same success praying to a milk jug as you do praying to god -- the milk jug sometimes answers your prayer the way you want to, sometimes not and sometimes the answer is delayed. See the problem here? If things turn out the way you want them to, you say it was because you prayed. If not, it's because god knows what's best and you didn't pray for the right thing. Or, if it happens 10 years later you say god answered your prayer, it was just delayed. This is nonsense. You would have the exact same effect doing nothing.

Some people pray for CAKE
But when God gives them ....
Butter
Eggs
Oil
Icing
Pan
Oven
They get frustrated and leave the kitchen grin

O you of little faith




You are blessed for this statement.
The problem is not that Prayer does not work, but that here in Africa many of us don't know how to apply our prayers unto RIGHTEOUS End.

In James, it was clearly stated that it was only the RIGHTEOUS Prayer that availeth much.
And When we do the same to FEED OUR LUSTS (Unrighteous mamoth according to Jesus) it will not yield results.

In Africa people see God from a MIRACLE WORKING LENS only and so keep asking for already made (things you have ability and power to do already). When they don't get these crazy miracles, you see them Pathetically typing all sorts of nonsense about Prayer not working and God not existing.
Some of these things we pray for esp here in Nigeria, are just basic and very common amenities in many European countries.
Imagine if you were fulfilled in those earthly amenities, what would be the quality of your relationship with your Creator

6.prayer doesnt work probably because god is deaf or he simply doesnt exist.

You ask and have not, because your motives are bad. That you may consume what you get on your own pleasure.

You are going to give account to God for this idle word you spoke against him.
Amend your ways tomorrow maybe too late.

May God, in his infinite mercy, have mercy on you. One day you will encounter a big challenge in your life. When you do, pray in faith and come tell us if God answers prayer. And remember to forsake your sins.

Prayer is like playing tennis without the net, you win either way.

If your prayer is not answered then it is god plan (then you most thought little of god to intend changing his devine plan).

Bro, its simple. God does not work for you, he works with you...
U Plant a seed, he sends the rain, sun and wind.
Work for promotion, he provides opportunities for promotion.
Pray for money, he put on a BEAT BY DRE earphone listening to Gods plan by drake

of course I left prayer before leaving religion. My life is going smoothly. I don't notice any difference between now and when I used to pray.

I work hard and I get both positive and negative results just like any prayer warriors do.

According to Islam, you will burn in hell fire forever if you don't become a Muslim despite knowing that Islam exist.

What about that? Aren't you afraid of Allah hell fire

Lies. How many religions lay the claims that Christianity has? How many claim to be the ONLY way? How many speak of eternity or so called paradise? You speak with so much irreconcilable ignorance.
