You are exactly right. That explains why God does not always answer our prayers, at least not in the way we want. God is not our slave to give us everything we want. The same can be said of a good parent who does not give his child everything the child wants.
-
Correct on the first point. Wrong on the second point.
-
Not exactly. Every father, no matter how loving, must at some point refuse their child's wishes to allow them to separate what is important and a what is a mere pleasure.
-
God is not a human. God is a LIE!
-
If God is a loving father why wouldn't he respond favorably to the requests of his chidren? Human fathers do.
-
Where do you get "God helps those who help themselves." It is certainly not in the Bible.

When Time Does Not Existby PowerVine20,675 views
I don't know if god is real or not. I really have no belief in any of the "sacred" books like the bible. However, I have seen the comfort the grieving attain through prayer. I think it calms the troubled mind. When someone is suffering and they say all I have is Jesus, even though I don't believe, I still get it, and would never want to take that away from them. Even an atheist can pray. If I prayed it would be to whatever gives me the strength to go on. prayer isn't just for the religous is it?

I think you are right that prayer can benefit the person who prays, even if there is no God. I think you are also right in not wanting to take prayer away from those who find comfort in it. However, I happen to believe that there is a God who answers prayer. I have seen some amazing answers in my own life. I recommend resources from DoesGodExist-dot-org and videos from DoesGodExist-dot-TV to help answer the question of whether there is a God.

I've always thought of prayer as a time of self-reflection. A time to think about the things you did well and the things you did poorly so that you can improve yourself on it later. And as such, this form of meditation or self-reflection is not entirely unique to Christianity.

The difference in Christianity is that Christians believe there actually is a God who cares about our needs and responds to our prayers.
