If it's ultimately GOD's will what happens, why do you even bother praying?
Best Answer: It's a loophole that they can't explain. Not to mention their god is fictional anyway.
It isn't. God doesn't have some master plan that decrees everything we will ever say, do and think. Not even God gets everything he wants.
Consider a situation where God has two courses of action open to him, and neither confers an advantage in the number of souls that will be saved. Why shouldn't he take our prayers into account?
You're correct that it's a mistake to think that praying is aimed at getting God to do something he wouldn't otherwise do.
But praying does good, mostly for the person who prays. A Christian asking God for something is a lot like a lawyer, presenting a case in court: the process of preparing to make the case helps us understand what the right outcome should be, so we can recognize it when it comes. A lot of answers to problems wouldn't be recognized if we weren't ready for them.
Or picture ourselves aboard a boat. There are hawsers joining it to some rock. We take hold of them and pull on them, and it is as if we were dragging the rock to us when in fact we are hauling ourselves and our boat toward that rock. And, from another point of view, when someone on the boat pushes away the rock which is on the shore he will have no effect on the rock, which stands immovable, but will make a space between it and himself, and the more he pushes the greater will be the space.
That is why we must begin with a prayer before everything we do, but especially when we are about to talk of God. We will not pull down to ourselves that power which is both everywhere and yet nowhere, but by divine reminders and invocations we may commend ourselves to it and be joined to it.
-- Charles Williams, "He Came Down from Heaven"
There is a line from a movie that goes "We can do this the easy way or the hard way." We should choose the easy way. God has shown that when everything goes the hard way, He's willing to reboot, e.g. destroy almost the entire human race and start over. So let's choose the easy way, please.
I don't pray, I find it boring.
God does not will everything . wickedness does not come from God, but Satan the Devil.
Because God exhorts, even commands us to pray.
Because it is OBVIOUSLY God's will that you pray. This is covered extensively in OT and NT. YOUR ignorance is destroying your sense.
You pray to learn God's will so you could be part of His plan.
HE CAN INTERVENE TO HELP US..
How do I respond to 'It's all part of God's plan'?
If you don't believe in God, then Why you ask so much questions about him?
Christian question about serving GOD?
Why I'm an Atheist. Are these good reasons/opinions?
Why would anyone in their right mind desire to serve any God who would create such a place as Hell?
