You know people, you can always edit your posts, instead of deleting then reposting.

Are you referring to small and great?

[loseyourname]

Indeed that is what I am referring to.

Okie, to answer your question, I didn't think it was worth editing a post made up of one short sentence.

Praying is nothing but a waste of time and energy, as nothing ever comes out of it. One needs to work for what they need and want.

I dont believe that is true. Prayer is not a waste of time nor energy. Prayer isn't ment for you to ask God to let you ace a test, or give you that car you've always dreamed of and I dont think prayer is about having some sort of "connection" with God, b/c you can feel that connection at anytime not just during your prayers. Prayer is a time for you to talk with God, to ask for forgivness, to ask for love and protection, and its also a time to ask him to take care of you and your family and friends during the times when you as an individual have no power or control of such things. For example, you can control the outcome of your test by studying for it and not just praying to God to help you ace it, but when it comes to things like health, war and things you have no control over then that is when you pray.

Speaking from experience: Praying does work, you just have to have patience.

Prayer is a way to make you feel that someone important cares about you. If it makes you feel any better, then it's worked. Go ahead and keep it up. It harms no one.

It's not just caring about you, it's also taking care of you. I would rather have God, someone who knows my past, present, and future, some who knows me better than anyone else, to watch over me than my parents or my husband or my best friend.

Lose, those things that you mentioned before happened not because you didnt pray or you dont believe its because people who do pray and do believe pray for those who dont.
