Do you think God answers your payers?

Hence, no one is sure if the prayer would really be heard or not, but when it happens, it is 100% reality that prayer WAS HEARD.

Now if prayer was not performed, and what was not even asked does really happen, that is purely 100% by chance.

So, its head I win & tail you lose, eh? Let us extend this beyond that. I see people talking about lottery, or probability of winning lottery. Let says I pray to win lottery, and I win (yay! :D) would it be b/c of chance or would be b/c God answered my prayers (keeping in mind that God apparently does not like gambling)?

No. Action does not always = equal result. You should know that.

Action always =s result. Otherwise, no action=no result. Let me give you “illogical” example. Lets say I fired a gun, but gun jams & does not fire. It is still an action=result (not expected result), but still a result. So, its one or the other (praying to win lottery…I will either win or not. It can’t be both).

I am sorry humble here means being aware of not having the power to make something happen, despite all the best efforts.

The process of asking someone higher who has the power of making something happen means that the person is humble. It also makes the person even more humble and realistic.

Being able to recognize limits of human power does not necessarily make you humble, it just makes you recognize those limits. And, neither does humbleness empowers you to overcome those limits. So, humbleness is just a positive virtue & nothing more.

Yes, God will do whatever he wants, but that should not make the person pray since result is not in the person’s control.

Now, prayer can make God grant what is asked for and out of no or negligible chance, something may happen.

I already mentioned the prayer should not stop the person struggle for something.

Again, if God will do whatever he wants (meaning you can’t change his mind with your payers one way or the other) than what is the point of praying? Isn’t that kind of makes praying redundant?
