Even athiests who don't pray or have any of your prayer warriors in their family also experience many miracles and breakthroughs in their lives. (Yes, even those who don't pray experience many of the same things your so-called prayer people have for the longest told you only happen to those of you who engage in your prayer rituals.) That should tell you all you need to know about your religious prayer rituals. They are all meaningless after all. undecided

Think of it all another way. If all of your many gods whom you claim to worship also grant the desires of those who do not worship or pray to them, then you have always had it all wrong in believing that your worships and prayers are the answer. undecided

Prayer does not work in the sense of external supernatural efficacy. the universe operates on deterministic physical laws not on the arbitrary whims of human pleading or the intervention of an unquantifiable unobservable entity.

prayer only function as a psychological and social coping mechanism. it provides comfort to the emotionally compromised, reinforces their existing biases and creates a sense of belonging for those coping.

I asked the same question last week and Christians were jumping everywhere without point. Wait till you’re called atheist and son of perdition😂 I had no choice but to leave the thread for them. They reason more with their emotions than logic.

Don't Dodge the question!
What is prayer?

You should have English dictionary

Someone who knows whether a thing works or not should know exactly what the thing is

Simple test.

Do you not send a prayer to the police and your govt?
Do they always answer you?

Yet, do you not see how they answer Ned Nwoko, MC oluomo & co?

There is no way anyone can answer this question stating yes or no.

Sorry son, in addition to all that you know, you also have to read the seasons. And what did God Say about these times?

Especially when God Said

18 And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the Lord will not hear you in that day.

So, you are caught up in the circumstance. However, if truly you are walking in the way God dictated, then you would have seen the wonders and miracles that God drops .

But from your lamentations, it means you have not gotten it right.

And sorry son, there are many things to get right with God beyond keeping your virginity. And they are hard eg one of them is

Proverbs 23:4-5 (KJV): "Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom. Human beings already do not agree with this, so problem, dey.

I send complaints to police and I send request to God. So what’s your point?🤷‍♂️ Or do I have to be filing complaints to God?

In a better environment, the government and police officials gives you reason why they can’t attend and if the matters reoccur they’ll likely to act if not they’ll be called out or fired. But can you say the same about God??

It is not everytime. Sometimes you hear them say "we are at liberty not to respond to your request". And that is why many of you pray to schools abroad half expecting them not to reply.

Same Law applies. The grant of any prayer is always at the liberty and will of the grantor. No be by force to grant your prayers

You stated a reason why. But has God ever given you a reason for the long wait or he just lets you keep praying and hoping, Waiting on the proverbial ‘God’s time’?

Because I know Him I always figured why there was a delay or why He won't answer a certain prayer or why He would never answer a certain prayer.

It's all in there in the bible

Does that applies to the police and government you mentioned because even non indigenes can give complaints as long as it’s uncomfortable to them and the society at large. Are you saying God operates on favoritism??

Ned Nwoko and you already show how police and govt operate.

While you already know that God is not partial and that the bible spells how He operates but typical, you people do as you please and then you come crying that God did not answer you

The bolded is where I always leave your arguments. You always end up bringing unverified information about people. How does Ned nwoko comes into this??

I’m sure you attend a brotherhood like Olumba or Ogboni cult because you believe you’re more righteous than others.

Shalom ✌️

Did I not mention that police and govt will always grant the prayers of Ned Nwoko than you? Or do you want to deny that you do not see the difference?

Secondly, the bold is always the reason for this topic for if you were rich in your ungodlin3s, you would have been an atheists overconfidently boasting that there is no God to answer prayers. But because you are poor you now want to eat your cake and have it.

Another invalid assumption. As long as I ain’t begging you for food, I’m wealthy😂😂😂
About being an atheist? I’m 45 percent christian, 25 percent free thinker, 20 percent Muslim and 10 percent traditionalist 😂

I don’t swallow anything hook, line and sinker that’s why I’ve got brains.

Anytime you lack points, you just start creating sentiments and start using intimidations. Hope you aren’t a pastor? Your members must really be worshipping in ‘spirit and in fear’

Anytime you do not have any counter, the next thing you do is to say "I lack points" when the thread show you not being able to say anything against my points. Rather it shows you attacking me (Ad hominem Fallacy) rather than you attacking the argument.

And yet, you wonder why God never answers your prayers.

Cry me a river😂😂 you have the ability to believe what you can. If you believe you’re Noah, that’s your choice. Take your emotions to the next person. I don’t roll in mud. If you don’t have points, desist from throwing unnecessary jabs. That’s not the way of Christian.

Prayers doesn't work. Shouting and shouting,Is there a Supreme Being somewhere listening to u and willing to do that which U are Asking ...Hell No...Work Hard ,Be consistent,do your Best if the Opportunity comes Avail it .

Not any Prayer Force getting it done..

Wake up from your Slumber.

Moses Rod divided the Red sea

Lazarus woke up from.thw dead

Solomon was Blessed

Daniel came out of the Lions Den unhurts

Shadrach Meshach and Abednego came out of the fire unhurt

If these are what u relies on .

Sorry You are on your own..

Go bite transformer but this thread is already about my belief which made you ask me questions eg this post shows you asking me because my belief on this topic which I have responding to, till you could counter no more and therefore you started talking Off Point.

And now that I have pointed out that you are talking off point, you are now crying 😭😭 that I have a right to belief forgetting that this topic is about my belief.🤣

According to the Bible how does prayer work?
Most people feel God should answer the prayer just as they want but they won't study God's word to know what He said about prayers and why He doesn't answer as we want.
All of us are sinners so God won't listen to a prayer if what the one praying wants to hurt others!😟
