A question about Prayer

(1/2) > >>

Just Another Sunny day in California:
who in this forum actually prays?

I admit i do, every night and every time i get onto the freeway.

J Bananas:
i used to. but now it feels somewhat childish or selfish. I mean, is God really listening? if so, why would he decide to get you that promotion at work then kill thousands of brown people in a flood in the same day? that doesnt make sense. The longer you participate in that kind of thinking, the more you think God has to do with your successes. You hear all the time rich people "oh im so blessed to have a nice life", fuck that, youre lucky, God has nothing to do what you ask for everytime you pray.

yeah i feel the same way sometimes when some bad shit happens to me but i don't know, i guess it's the faith

QuietTruth:
I pray everynight but I get those same feelings. Like its selfish and sometimes I feel like he shouldn't care. Some things you have to work for. But I pray to help bless some people around me even though I'm really thinking about stopping. It seems when I pray for good, bad comes. I think he doesn't want to hear bullshit prayers. Gotta take life as it comes. :-\
