Alright, maybe I didn't speak clearly the first time. I have no problem with someone praying to their diety for things that are out of reach or serious in nature. If someone is dying from a terminal or chronic illness, no problem, I understand why one would pray. It's out of their control. If someone prays that they get out of debt (given the cirumstances), I'd see why one would pray, although the situation is slightly under his/her control. I just don't see why someone would submit to God his/her problems regarding dating, winning a football game, getting a promotion at a job, doing better in school, etc etc. I hear people argue that you must submit to God for him to answer your prayers but that doesn't answer my question. My question is: Why rely on God for the small things in your life like that? Do you not think that you must do SOME things on your own without the help from others, God or human? Here was my previous question.
