For example, you hear of a plane crash and you know a friend is on the plane but you have no information about casualties, does it make sense to pray that your friend 'is' unhurt?

Does it matter, if my friend is in a crash I'll pray, God doesn't mind if it makes sense or not. He knows what we want BEFORE we ask, so maybe your prayers after the event will alter the event before you pray it, does that help?

Prayer is a sort of addressing God. We can pray for the soul to merge with the God as a fellow human being. Determined events are the events determined by God
Hence pray for the wellbeing of the all the person on board.
Thanks

Your friend may be only hurt and your prayer releases the ability for God to do a great amd might work there. I would pray until I hear otherwise.

i think it makes more sense to pray for strength to see you through whatever may come
and to pray that if your friend was killed in the crash that they do not suffer too much and are taken safely to spirit
i used to pray for different outcomes
now when i pray i generally dont ask for things but if i do then i ask for the best possible outcome in whatever way God sees fit
we cant change the inevitable .. but we can change how that inevitable affects the person involved and the people who care about them

It makes no sense to pray, full stop! You are pleading for the intervention of an entity whose existence is utterly unproven. The only 'point' to prayer is to make the person praying feel better.

Praying will comfort the person praying, nothing more.
If there were a God and he had just killed a plane full of people, would you really want to have any communication with him?

From my understanding, he did not understand what he changed into. He wasn't an atheist or a pantheist, because he suggested he wasn't. He easily couldn't comprehend a starting up to a God (from Jewish beliefs, God has no initiating, so he couldn't position self belief in that God), yet he couldn't also comprehend the order he said contained in the universe and not using a God being latest. yet he actually changed into no longer a Christian. i imagine, given the Holocaust, he would were indignant on the conception. i imagine the Snopes answer although probable has something to do with it. clone of human beings trust that blinking your headlights receives you killed, human beings have a tendency to get emails declaring Einstein did this or changed into that and take it as gospel. :P "In view of such cohesion contained in the cosmos which I, with my restricted human ideas, am waiting to understand, there are yet those who say there is no God. yet what somewhat makes me offended is they quote me for the help of such perspectives." "i'm no longer an atheist and that i don't think of i will call myself a pantheist. we are contained in the area of somewhat baby entering right into a huge library full of books in a lot of languages. the youngster is common with someone must have written those books. It does no longer understand how. It does no longer comprehend the languages in which they are written. the youngster dimly suspects a mysterious order contained in the preparations of the books, yet would not understand what it really is. That, it type of feels to me, is the approach of even the most smart man or woman in the route of God." upload: only to assert it, if Einstein suggested "i'm no longer a pantheist" it somewhat is what he suggested, no matter if what he also suggested seems to lean in that route, you could not say "he turned right into a pantheist." He suggested he wasn't, and... it really is only the way it really is.

Not really, we ought to pray instead that "God's will be done".
Our prayers do make a difference, though; "The effective fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much."

You can always pray for your friend's "best" or "highest good." And leave it in God's hands. Thy will be done (not mine).
