When Christ was on earth, He would pray often.

Basically no. God is all powerful and He doesnt need help from anyone, and theres no one else that He could get help from since no one is greater than Him. As it says in Isaiah 40: 13-14, "Who is able to advise the Lord? Who knows enough to be His teacher or counsellor? No one! Has the Lord ever needed anyone's advice? No, for all the nations of the earth are nothing in comparison with Him.
However, that said, God did once come to earth in human form. (Jesus) This was an amazing act of humility. When Jesus, God's Son was on earth as a human, then He did pray to God the father. Jesus and the father are both God, and they are one person. God is one entity, but there are three manifestations of that entity, Father Son and Spirit. A good analagy, if youve ever watched the recent series of Star Trek would be the species called the Borg. They have one shared consciousness but have many bodies. This is in a simple way, like the trinity. So when Jesus came to earth as a man, yes, He did pray to the father. So there is prayer within the trinity. But, God never prays to anyone outside himself.

God does pray but it is for relationship not so much the help as humans need. A brief run through of the Gospel and you will see Jesus praying a lot. It was communion. The Father in communion with the Son. In essence, praying to Himself. The Father and Son are still in communion and perhaps on a certain level praying to each other... loving each other.

God does not pray, because he is all knowing and all seeing. he is the beginning and the end. therefore, if there were someone for God to pray to, what would be the point? The outcome has already been written by the creator HIMself.

He should pray because his image needs help.There is a lot of doubt in this world that God of the Bible is true. He seems to be nothing more than a mythology that used by churches and governments to control society.
Many people that I know are turning inward through meditation for their spiritual answers.

God doesn't pray he don't need to pray to himself.
Jesus prayed to his higher authority but the truth is Jesus is not God.

God / Jehovah IS the supreme being. He cannot even lie;
as if he uttered a comment along new lines;
it would become true.
He does however have the council of his angels that in friendship he discusses happenings and what to do about them.
In answering prayers,he evaluates the needs of everyone and charges those angels with the carrying out of his instructions.

Who would he pray to? Assuming he's the Creator, he'd be praying to himself, which in my opinion, would be awfully narcissistic.

I don't think anybody could fathom gods ways. Somewhere in the bible it says " as high as the heaven is from the earth so high are my ways" Prayer is communication. with god its 2way communication, he talks to us & we talk to him. Talking to him is Prayer & him talking back to us too has to be prayer or answer... what do you think. Need to check with god.
