Non Opposing Prayers
Thanks for the Great comments!
When we pray, we tell God about the things in our lifes, not that he doesn't already know. He knows completely. When we ask for things, he already knows our needs. Whatever happens, God has already planned it, and it is perfect.
Do we still pray For things?
Do we say " Dear God please give me this... " or " Dear God, please make this happen..."
The purpose of prayer is not to change God's mind. Who can?!
...(Moses? i remember that God was about to do something to punish the people, and then Moses pleaded and saved the people from God's wrath) :D

Interesting. I'm not sure if it's completely right to say that we can change God's mind. I think God "let's us". Don't ask me what I mean by that. In fact, in the Bible Jacob even wrestles with God (Genesis 32:22-32). In any case, even if God does know what we want, it's still a pleasure when His children asks Him for it.

Hi Jot.. it never ceases to amaze me how creative people are, especailly the young ones, gives me hope for the future. Anyway I was looking for information on school prayer and landed on your page. I was looking more for school prayer so Non Opposing Prayers wasn't an exact match but I enjoyed reading your posts. Take Care. I'll bookmark your blog for future.
