I’m sorry if I misinterpreted your earlier post. It just sounded like you were assuming that if a person is praying for a cricket win, he/she might not be praying for the aspects that you had highlighted.
How can we know what God may or may not care about? Who knows what repercussions a seemingly minute cricket win might bring about. Hypothetically, the positive attitude in the nation might lead to other good things as a result of public action. Again, we as human beings don’t know and can’t predict these things. What may seem minuscule at one time might cause ripples that bring about more meaningful changes.
I just know that God has advised us to ask and He shall give with the provision that it isn’t something immoral or perverse. I don’t see praying for cricket as that.
In the end, I am of the opinion that no one has the right to restrict anyone else’s right to personal expression of belief and faith, no matter what that belief might be.
