I was at a sporting event and it was the final game. Team A is praying to beat team B and vice-versa. Now, apply this to a larger scale: different religions praying against each other; different denominations within the same religion; family vs family-if most people are praying, competeing interest are bound to arise; so, how does God accomodate this. What criteria are used to decided if team A is favored over B? Would love to hear your thoughts-thanks!

No one has a copyright to God.
All religions are continuations of each other.

Firstly, God has given free will, god favors all. Look at atmosphere as a huge tree, which has all the wishes of all the people in the world. This tree is willing to give u what u want, but u have to be ready for it, god takes care of u so much. God makes sure u r able to handle what u r asking for. Unconditional faith, Unconditional belief, Unconditional surrender, Unconditional love is what works. Now u can see who ever is ready to be able to handle the gifts gets it. God does not favors any body. Every body favors itself.
God has allowed us to make different religions, but we need to remember the teachings and practice our religion, religion is a medium to reach/realise the same goal GOD. Religions are to pray for each other and not against each other.
Love

You probably cherish your right to believe whatever you wish to believe. So does almost everyone else. By exercising this right, earth's six billion inhabitants have produced an amazing diversity of beliefs. Like the variations in color, shape, texture, taste, smell, and sound that we find in creation, differing beliefs often add interest, excitement, and enjoyment to life. Such variety can, indeed, be the spice of life.—Psalm 104:24.
BUT there is a need for caution. Some beliefs are not only different but also dangerous.

I don't believe that the Higher Power that is God, involves itself in such petty matters as who to favor. Look at the world around you and you will hear all sorts of stories about how innocent people are maimed and killed everyday, and yet people who behave like monsters walk the streets everyday. The Force that created the Universe is far to vast to be understood, and no Human has gotten it right yet, and probably never will.

God doesn't favour anybody.He has a unique plan for every individual.What Christians should try to understand is that God has a plan & a reason for everything. In time you will see the purpose for every situation you may find yourself in.You may not get an answer immediately but yes,God will definitely give you understanding - in His time.God loves us and so whatever happens is for our best

God does not favor or like anyone better than the other .its just that when we pray we expect to see God interceding.For him to work for us we also need to put a little effort ,so you see that one of the team might succeed than the other yet they prayed to the same God ,your strength also counts .

I favor people who don't pray for foolish things. When people are open to my blessings, even when they don't seem like blessings, I bestow a quiet blessing upon them. I don't need worhsip. I'm God .. for My sake.

He doesn't favor. He decides who needs to learn what lesson, and would base the outcome of that on that. Or, he might just let them use their skill, because they weren't listening to him.
