Try and prove an answered prayer.
Anyone else see the inherent hypocrisy of prayer?
Prayer asking for things is a way of saying "hey God? Yea, you know that plan you've got? Well, it doesn't quite jive with my expectations, so can you go back and make a revision to it on my behalf? k, thanks."
Seems kind of conceited, no?
Similarly, it seems kind of pointless to thank God for things: "Hey God? Yea, it's me again. Hey, I know you probably have all kinds of cosmic reasons for having things work out the way they do, but I want you to know how much I appreciate it when your plan jives with what my expectations were. Keep up the good work."
Kind of silly.
OTOH, if you DON'T believe in a divine master plan I guess that means either things are totally random or maybe they're being made up as we all go along. . .
Either way, I don't really understand prayer.
