Let me start with my definition of prayer. Which is a means of communicating with an omnipotent, omniscient and benevolent god up there in the sky.
While Wish is a feeling or a strong desire or hope for something that cannot or probably will not happen.

What is the difference between prayer and wish

prayer is a spiritual exercise, here u request with faith to your creator to grant you your needs. it's for ppl with strong faith in God
wish is a wandering idle mind

Prayer is a strong demand from your God alongside having faith that it would be achieved, while wish is an imaginary dream not taken importantly or without a strong belief that it would come to pass.A wish can be a luck

Prayer na wish oooo because we all request something with it.....

Thank God we all have dictionaries to differentiate and understand words without people having to teach us what they don't know. ��

paxonel:
these are the kind of questions many christians and religious people have failed to asked.

There is absolutely no difference between prayer and wish .

Going by your definition of a wish, we also pray with a strong desire or hope for something that probably will not happen too.

For instance, many of us respond a strong AMEN! in church to prayers and prophesies of pastors saying that this year, we will buy car, we will build houses, we will hit a mega contract .
Meanwhile, many of us are jobbless people in the society created by buhari government.

Is that kind of prayer not mere wishes?

the bible says THE EFFECTUAL FERVENT PRAYER OF *THE RIGHTEOUS MAN* AVAILETH MUCH

note emphasis onbthe word THE RIGHTEOUS MAN.not jobless man or wishful man.what this implies is whether you are jobless or not is inconsiquential,as long as you are a RIGHTEOUS MAN.your prayers (which you call wishes) will avail much.

Now what does availeth much mean? It means your prayers are of heavy importance that God will answer speedily

Prayer is a wish and wish not a prayer

You and your non existent God no go die well...RIGHTEOUS KO LEFTEOUS NI

paxonel:
that is under a circumstance that is impossible of human solution?
I get your point!

Yes! It is never foolishness to pray at this point, who knows, God may answer.

But it is still under God's prerogative right to answer or not.
That simply means if he chooses not to answer he has his reasons therefore no one can blame him.

You are a confused, biased and insincere human being.

MuttleyLaff:
It is said to be known as wishful thinking
- forming an attitude or belief that's pleasing to imagine, instead of by appealing to evidence, rationality or reality
but then paxonel, like you posited, it might be the pastor being prophetic

Sorry, I've already posted before reading this
Other threads where and when I read this warning alert, I steer clear off

If all Christians keep mute
Who should speak.

To ye unbelievers
I wish you have experienced the divine already.but its not so.
I pray that a time in your life will come and you will pray and God will answer your request.

But some of year are so reprobate that even if you see an angel you will still argue so .

You are not keeping mute when you focus on encouraging your brethren and helping them to take deeper roots in Christ.

The bible warns us NEVER TO CAST OUR PEARLS BEFORE SWINE. THEY WILL TRAMPLE UPON IT AND TURN AND REND YOU.

Do not waste your precious gospel on those who have already rejected it before you opened your mouth. You rightly said they have become reprobate for the wisdom of God is foolishness to them that are lost.

Encourage your brethren and leave the chaff to remain where they are.

Prayer is praying and wisher is wishing ....

Jeez how easy it is to sound stupid...

Wish is Application for blissful satisfaction.
Prayer is Praise God; Repent your past misdeeds; Ask for your new Aspirations seriously; Say Yes God has heard you; Start Expecting; Results.

THANK YOU !
Very wise advice to all Christians and Theists in the light of the horrific evidence you exposed about the SATANIC contents of the cowardly ATHEISTS TRAINING MANUEL.
We wish to express our heart felt gratitude to the esteemed Butterflyleo for reposting the SATANIC Atheists Training Manuel at this link;

https://www.nairaland.com/4601231/atheist-finds-refuge-peace-christ#69128077

Please Christians, you must actively share it and also distribute it to churches and schools to exposed the raw hatred of Satan.

Martinez19:
You are a confused, biased and insincere human being.

How dare you insult Paxonel when are the one that spread SATANIC doctrines everywhere. You still seem unaware that Butterflyleo has effectively exposed your SATANIC bible, The Atheists Training Manuel to world for scrutiny.
People are rushing from across the globe to read it here;
https://www.nairaland.com/4601231/atheist-finds-refuge-peace-christ#69128077

Tell us Martinez19, what can you come up with after atheism's tragic hidden secrets are public knowledge?

Houseofglam7:
Why are you like this?

Was what I said wrong?

RuthlessLeader:

Yes. It is the wise thing to do. These children disn't ask to be born into those situations. And terminal illnesses are genetic in nature, just as being black or white is genetics as well.

not all terminal diseases are genetic in nature, infact most of them are acquired.
Even the genetic problems mostly arises from inbreeds of closely related individuals such as brothers and sisters or cousins mating and producing these inbreeds. Remember, in the history of mankind even in the bible these were always the case which have produced a significant population of people or children currently suffering from genetic terminal diseases till this day. The problem is not from God it's from the ignorance of human ancestors, and the only solution remains education and outbreeding of the affected population, not prayers.
Imagine brothers and sisters mating, that is rubbish this modern day now.

How do you know this? The bible even says that God creates good and evil Isaiah 45:7. So he is the origin.

Isaiah must have made the statement to ascertain the magnificence of God, not necessarily that God created evil from the beginning.
Infact this was the origin of evil according to Genesis 3:6

Genesis 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

So this was the origin or genesis of evil.
Disobedience!

Why must we suffer for the sins of a grandfather that we don't know anything about? This is just like me deciding to punish buhari's great grandchildren because he was a bad president.

no, it's not like that! It's a system created by the evil of our ancestors from the beginning whether we like it or not we all must follow until there is a deliberate effort by the progeny to put a stop to the evil which is outbreeding the closely related population and that will take the education our forefathers didn't get, not prayer.
The same thing applies, when your grand father lay down resources or assets for you to inherit and enjoy, at that point you will not ask the question why must you enjoy what you didn't suffer to acquire, will you?

Already wrong. Terminal illnesses are genetic

not all!
Cancer, heart diseases and trauma are acquired.

and and starvation can be caused by famine, war and poverty which the children have no control over.

but the warring parties and the government had control of them and would have done something to prevent them?
Why then are you bringing God into them?

Why does God like punishing the descendants because of their forefather's crime?

relax!
We have the option of thinking out solutions to problems and not putting blame on God which will never bring solutions.

Through the holy spirit abi?

I don't think white men who are solving their problems needed The holy spirit to do so.
Many of them don't even believe in God, they are atheists yet they are contributing immensely.
Look at their health system, education and power supply, can you compare the rubbish we are doing here in Africa to what is obtainable in their country?
I know the rubbish is better than nothing

Terminal illness is a death sentence for whoever has it. If you have a terminal illness, you are dying and there is no cure. That is why a lot of parents resort to praying and mercy killing.

they are not really dead sentence like you put it, some cases are not that acute and they can be managed

With what money? From where?

then why will a parent think of bringing a child to this world when he doesn't have money

We Africans, we have the culture of marrying plenty wives and give birth to plenty children, yet no money to cater for them.
Is that not foolishness?

The good book is a book filled with the message of love and grace.
It will be wrong not to tell them who we are and who they are.
Hoping they change for he who wins a soul is wise.

For why do we call our self Christian is we exempt our self from faith

By faith we are free
By acceptance we become the free prisoners of hope .

They already know who you are. Do not be deceived. They have simply chosen to reject the light.

John 3:19 - 20

This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed

hopefulLandlord:


interesting, so how do you differentiate praying to God and praying to a milk jug? or not even praying at all?
I mean, if you think about it there are only three possibilities the milk jug sometimes answers your prayer the way you want to, sometimes not and sometimes the answer is delayed and its its prerogative to answer or not

sorry I didn't see this.

milk jugs are not living things but God is alive.

But if anyone believes that a mere milk jug can answer his prayer like the idolatrers whether milk jugs have right at all talkless or prerogative i don't know about that
