Please kill me in a fiery car wreck on the way home from work this evening.
In Jesus's name I pray,
Amen.
Has my risk of a car accident increased because of my prayer?
While most Christians are praying not to get stuck in a traffic jam during their rush hour commute, the odds are good that you will make it home safely. None of the above prayers will be answered. Maybe you'll have better luck praying St Christopher, as he is patron saint of travelers. Happy motoring!
I do pray. For one, I pray because God commands it. I talk to God for the same reason I talk to my wife -- to build relationship.
That's a little creepy. I stopped building relationships with imaginary friends when I was still a little kid.

Prayer doesn't work, according to you. When I asked you if a prayer for a specific outcome would actually increase the likelihood of said outcome, you said no.

So there it is, right from the horse's mouth. Prayer doesn't work.

Me, too.

Of course it does. I've seen it work. I have grown in faith, and I've seen God respond to things we've prayed about.
Maybe it means that God ordained that I would pray.
