Prayer thread
do you prayer daily?
i sometimes prayer but its always to help me. e.g- one time i prayed to god for it to snow enough so that id miss school. it worked though it could have been a coincidence (it was already snowing but not heavily). Do prayers like these work?
what do you prayer for or about?
also, is prayer the proper word?
so basically tell me you views about praying.

Well, I more talk in my head. Not a formal prayer though. And usually am just saying "Thankies."

What do you mean by the pray?
I do Gongyo in the morning and evening of every day. There are a set of prays that are a part of Gongyo.

Maybe prayer is not the correct word. Maybe communication is??

I've made fairly complex requests, coupled with a complex sacrifice...the prayer was granted...all was going well...i went back on my word...everything that had been going well and looked sorted fell apart...I asked for one more chance...and it fixed again...

Prayer is not intended to affect reality itself. It is a personal moment between man and god. An attempt to communicate with your spiritual source.

Are, but your confusing the word want with Want, he doesn't NEED anything. However, that doesn't limit his ability to want his people to do certain things.

no, if even if he doesnt NEED, anything. he cudnt TAKE prayer without atleast DESIRE. and one can not desire for what one already posesses. that wud mean there are still things{gained by prayer to god} that god does not completely posess and can have MORE OF.

You know, this is actually wrong right? One can be very complete and still want some other things if they don't need them.

If you are omnipotent and omnipresent, by definition, you cannot want.
