Luke 18:1-7
And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;

Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:

And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.

And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;

Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.

And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.

And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?

-Peace.

People only pray for things that they think are possible. In other words, those things can either happen or not. Prayer isn't a reliable tool to get what one wants, so why use it?

U have everything u want... What a safe term to use. Well, congrats.

But we have seen how prayer worked against covid 19 and boko haram insurgent and we have seen how God has helped Nigeria get good leaders through ur prayers.

Safe? I do have all I want, houses, cars foods and drinks, work and plenty of play, leisure and ease, Peace and joy, I travel at will, tell me is there any greater than these (excluding Eternal Life which I am pursuing)? I think not, and I really do not care if there is any other, cos I think I got them all.

cheesy I did not pray against Covid or theBoko guys and I will never.

In fact what I am praying for... Has been Answered!

We have told you but you do not hear, which is not my fault. So,...

The world would have been a perfect place if men refused to do Wickedness!

You may not have even had the need to pray, for Everything Would have been Provided For!

Prayer is useless and it's just mere wishes.

Homo Sapiens III 15:12 sacrifices are useless and prayers are for the weak. But he who wants to be great will use his head to think deep, be his own god and do good to his fellow

I think we are saying the same thing... The would would have been a perfect place if prayer work... The world is imperfect because of man's selfishness greed and all that.

According to u... If man stop his wickedness (which is almost not possible) the world will be perfect. Prayer will not make the world perfect but man's stopping his wickedness will make the world perfect.

Isn't this what we have been saying?

Prayer does not work, action works

It would appear that we are saying the same thing but, I do not think we have the same spirit especially your last statement

"Prayer does not work, action works"

I am Saying, in the abundance of Wickedness and Evils, Prayers Will Never Work!

But in the House of the Righteous, Prayers Are Always Answered, and They Shall Love Prayers, for They Know That Prayers is More Than Request.

And the Righteous Know That Prayers, is Also the Food of the Spirit and just like your flesh needs the food of the flesh, the spirit needs the food of the Spirit which is what Prayer Supplies.

That is the whole of my Answer on Prayer and it's Necessity, But It is Only for Those Who Know That They Require It For Their Good Well Being!

Nigeria, the poverty capital of the world, is a classic example of the fact that prayers don't work.

But then god will actually have to answer prayers that will be end up being a disservice to someone else.
