MODS, PLEASE MOVE THIS ,IF THIS BE THE WRONG PLACE FOR THIS THREAD.

Dearest Inter-Tribal peeps of Inter- Yummy Trifle Goodness and Light,...hmmmmm!!..yummmy !!!



What is prayer for ?...specifically when one is praying for a particular cause........ like a recovery from illness............ a relief from frustration........... an alleviation of stress due to work.............. personal and family matters.


The reason I ask is , well....they don't seem to be a particular successful way of wishing for a thing, or asking God for assistance do they ?...in my opinion.

If the answer is somewhere along the lines of, ' well, what is supposed to be is supposed to be because of gods will' then why bother praying in the first place ?

Presumably one has faith in prayer yes ?...does not your faith diminish somewhat when your prayers are not answered ?....how does one remain so steadfast in a belief that doesn't seem to reward with resolution ?

I realise one might say that the reward is there when you die but then as I said why pray then for specific causes if they do not get answered ?...and how do you feel when they are not ?


Please note there is no hostilie intent in my questioing....I have nothing but the utmost respect....it's my way of learning...so please....if you see provocation in my questions....it is most certainly not intentional.

THANK YOU & HUGS YOU
