Power of prayer is real, a positive attitude adjustment. I pray for God's Will Be Done...........

Have you never heard of Garth Brooks song, "Unanswered Prayers"? Why would we tell the God of wisdom what to do. I think of Him as Abba Father.  A dad to come to, to seek shelter, wisdom and comfort. Very childlike.  I trust Him with my life and my eternity. I get to know Him through His love letters written to me.  Like you might talk to your dad, I tell him what's on my heart but I trust Him completely with hIs choices for my life.  By the way, I had a real father and two step father's but I didn't have a dad until I had a relationship with My Heavenly Father. No hypocrisy or self interest. I want my life to be a fragrance. Without a word I desire my life to honor Jesus. It is so simple yet people try to make it so complicated. I agree with you. I too have no time at all for a god who panders in return for flattery.  I do have time for a God who loves me and wants a relationship with me. Not only does he love me and wants a relationship with me He wants it with every other sinner. Thanks be to God!!

Do you suppose he loves the non sinners too because I for one do not sin. I do not believe in sin. That's a word the Christian religion made up.

I do agree that prayer is a form of telling God what to do. IT knows all that we need. No sense in telling IT what to do.

Some people assume that God will act on our idea because we pray. He wants us to pray, to lay needs before Him and be agents of the blessing God brings. Pray for direction in relating to others in a way that honors Jesus and your motive will be pure and in God's will.

keep it simple and sincere.
