What is the purpose of prayer? When someone prays for something, and it's not granted, then that person usually says "well, it's God's wishes" or "It's God's will" or "God has a purpose" .... seriously? If that's the case, then why pray to begin with? It God has a purpose or a will, then your prayer won't really matter anyways? God is infallible and all-knowing, so what's the point? Do people actually think that God, the all-knowing creator of the heavens and the universe, the alpha and omega, listens to us and his actions and future actions might be affected by our prayers or "wishes" ?
Really, I'm quite religious, but I can't bend my mind around prayer. Can someone intelligent provide a decent answer? Please, none of those "just because" answers or heavily argued interruptations from the Bible. Thanks!
