Mathew writes
All things whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive[ 21:22]
And at the same time you believe the god you believe in is omniscient and all loving. Is it possible that either he doesn’t care, it his will that shit happens to you and you are offending s/h/it by asking for the problem to be taken away or worse still, you are suggesting that this god you believe in could have been wrong and you want them to chair their mind?
In brief, am asking why pray?
Random thoughts 
There are many scriptures that instruct people to pray for tangible things: “Ask anything in my name and it will be given”, “The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much”, etc.
Then the people are slapped on the hand for actually taking God up on it and praying for “selfish” motives.
When I first became a Christian I prayed for everything, mostly other people, but also things I wanted. Rarely were prayers answered and I came to view it as a terrible average. There was no God granting the handful of things that actually went the way I wanted them to. It was the law of averages Ask for enough things and surely some of them are bound to happen, even without a God. Questioning the efficacy of prayer I finally, in the end, came to the conclusion that prayer really is no more than meditation. My church leaders said that prayer was not to change God’s mind, it was to change my heart and align my desires with those of God. When I pointed out that most of the things I’d come to pray about were found in scripture(salvation of others, healing, his will on earth as in heaven), I was told that his will on earth started with me.
I ended up just removing God from the equation. What good was he in my prayer? So I meditate.

I converted at the age of three, I deconverted at 39 years old. I have had Christian bloggers tell me that I have misinterpreted Scripture and prayed selfish prayers. My dad thinks I need deliverance. I say bull shit to everyone one of them.
I spent countless years praying for the will of God, healing for myself and others, salvation for non believers, unity, jobs for the jobless, marriages, protection for myself and other children and for love to minister to dozens of people who bullied and abused me while I tried to befriend them with kindness. I prayed all day, every day…for years! As Ruth mentioned earlier, when you pray that often the odds are high that one will get “answered” once in a great while.

Hey Mak,
For the most part, I didn’t normally see much of a difference. I kept in mind how Jesus said to pray,”on earth as it is in heaven.” As a Christian, I sincerely believed that heaven was a place of pure love and wholeness. In return, I prayed for healing and love for myself and others.

I tend not to read the old testament literally. But I did review the passage and if we take it literally it appears the sun and moon did stand still – not only that but the earth would have stopped rotating. At least that is one interpretation.
Might it have been God effecting time somehow for those fighting in the war so it appeared the sun stood still? I can’t answer that.
But if either of these did happen then it would be a miracle because the biblical passage makes it fairly clear that Joshua asked for God’s help and it was God cooperating with this.

Having lived on an island as a child; I have grown to appreciate the seasons of the US. I told myself that I don’t want anything for my birthday, but snow. I said a silent prayer that day, and the next morning I awoke to snow falling from the sky. It snowed all that day, but it didn’t last to the next day. It was such a wonderful birthday gift.

A prayer saved my life instantly too. I was dating a dangerous man at the time. It was early in the morning after a long night of drinking. We got into another argument, and I was driving. He slapped me in the mouth and I began to hit him. All this was while driving. I realized what I was doing, and I threw my car into park while driving and I jumped out of my car. I ran to the nearest building which had a bouncer outside. It was a strip joint. My ex pulled in and the bouncer convinced him to give me my car back. As I drove away I was yelling drunk obscenities at him, and I went back to the motel we lived in at the time. I rushed getting my things but he had car jacked someone’s car and came there as I was leaving. I knew I was in for it. As I scrambled to get into my vehicle through the passenger side he threw himself on me and began choking me. I weighed about one fifteen at the time. I am not a big woman by any measure. As I looked into his eyes I knew he was going to kill me. I gasped a prayer, two words, “help me.”
The next thing I knew he let go and I heard voices. There were three men there. It’s three in the morning at a dumpy motel. No one was around.
Anyways they convinced him to leave with them saying the cops were called etc…
I have no doubt in my mind that Yahweh heard my prayer and that He saved me.
I did hear back from my ex about a week later. Those men robbed and beat him. They left him on the side of the road by a closed down gas station. He had a friend who got hotel a motel room. That’s where he stayed healing from his wounds. Then he threatened me bla bla. I was long gone from there though.

So NikkiJR could have just as easily had her request denied. But if this had happened her response then would be, “Well god has his reasons…or god’s ways are not always our ways”.

All true doctrines, traditions, and beliefs began in the word and they have roots in the OT and continue in the NT. And the doctrines repeat. Angels cannot produce life on their own. Only Yahweh has the power to do so and He had only done so Himself, and through Messiah Yahshua. No where in the Bible are angels knocking up women. It didn’t happen in genesis and it doesn’t repeat anywhere else. But this doctrine is believed in pagan religions. Demi g-ds I think they call them, but not in the Bible. What is in the Bible is the fact that righteous men of Yahweh are warned and disciplined for marrying outside of Israel, and the faith of Messiah Yahshua. This is repeated all throughout the scripture.

As you see; Yahshua came for all of the lost sheep of the house of Israel. His message surely was preached first to the Jew then to the gentiles. Whether it was by Him or not. That woman who begged for His help; didn’t try to repent. I trust that she eventually did though.

BTW be careful about which translation you use. Most modern day translations have removed NT scriptures including Red Letter scriptures attributed to Jesus.
I taught a Sunday School Class on this several years ago. ” “AND we’re not even sure what Jesus said. 8 NT scriptures attributed to Jesus have already been removed from many modern day bibles because over the past 100 years we have found older manuscripts which do not have these verses. A majority of modern bible scholars have determined these scriptures were added at a later date probably by redactors . Bibles which still publish these scriptures at least provide footnotes to this effect. BTW the missing “Red Letter” scriptures are : Mt 17:21, 18:11, 23:14, Mk 7:16, 9:44, 9:46, 11:26, Lk 17:36
In addition you have entire stories not found in older manuscripts.
