Now, I am an atheist, but I was brought up Catholic, and this was something I never had answered. Being completely respectful, here.
Now, I'm going to assume, for the purpose of arguement, that during this hypothetical God exists. I personally don't believe that's so, but I'm asking religious people about their religion.
Why do you pray? If God has a plan, a divine plan, if he knows more than mortals, if s/he's the Alpha, the Omega, the beginning and end, all of that jazz, why pray? Surely you can't change his/her mind? If s/he has a plan, why bother praying? And I don't mean prayers of thanksgiving or anything like that. I mean specific prayers for help/wanting something. Why bother, if it's going to happen anyway?
