April 25, 2023 at 8:38 amPeace and Blessings to you all. This is a serious question of faith. Why do we pray? God has plans for us it is written and they are said to be for our greater good . If so then why pray if God is going to do what he wants anyway ? 🙏🏽I mean no disrespect, I’ve been praying for years now for love and peace . The more I pray the further it seems from me .💔 Vincent Walking in Love

April 25, 2023 at 9:09 amI understand this. However, God asked us in the Bible to pray to him. It is what he wants. He wants to hear from us. It is our way of staying in line with his will and his divine communication to us.

April 25, 2023 at 11:52 amThe simplest answer is this brother Vincent, God uses our prayers to (accomplish His will). Through prayer, God graciously allows us to be involved in His work on earth. When you and I pray, we participate in God’s will being accomplished on earth as it is in heaven. We are in affect co-labourers with Him (1 Cor. 3:9). The LORD JESUS says: “PRAY, THEN, THIS WAY: ‘Our Father, who is in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven'(Matt. 6:9-10). Think of it this way Vincent, praying in its simplest term is communicating with God. It’s like talking to your best friend. We are privileged to be able to talk with the God of all Creation. If you think about it brother, God could have just made us all robots. But, instead, He wants and deeply desires that we have relationship with Him. He desires to have relationship with us too. God greatly desires to have dialogue with us, which is communication, which is PRAYER. Father, thank You for the privilege of being able to pray. Prayer is a gift that shouldn’t be taken lightly. Thank You that You have called each one of us to personally be involved in the business of heavens work. Help us to approach prayer with reverence and appreciation, and gratitude, because You love us so much that it’s Your earnest desire to include us in Your Master plan for all mankind. We are humbled to know that You think so highly of us as to make us partners in Your Divine plan. Father, You deserve all the praise and all the glory✨ We Bless Your holy name…
In the name of JESUS, we pray. Amen! 💓

April 26, 2023 at 7:07 amWhat a wonderful question! And thank you for wonderful answers. This reminds me of a talk between God and Abraham concerning the destruction of Sodom. God was going to take out the whole place and everyone in it, but Abraham asked “what if there were 50 good men there would you take them down with it?” God said He would spare it. And Abraham kept lowering the number all the way to 10. In the end, God spared Lot and his family from destruction. Was God’s mind changed? Was He looking for evidence of compassion from Abraham? Was He seeking to bring Abraham in to His plan to spare Lot to begin with?
Sorry- it is messy in my brain and things like this happen.
Bless you all ! -
