We pray to say thank you and to ask for guidance. Then we be still and listen for the answer.
Listening is the most important aspect of praying.
God wants to talk to us but most of us are too busy asking for things to listen.
When you pray get your talking over as soon as possible, and just listen.
There is no one that God is not talking to, there are just people who are not listening.
Love and blessings Don

You can demand. You're not going to get it. It is better to ask and give thanks for what you already have. (That could be easily taken from you, & then you have nothing at all.) And I still say God is humorous. You ask for gold, you get copper. You ask for copper, and you get Silver!?! Ask for nothing, and you get Gold!?!? Go figure...
I asked God for a boy, right? And he said to me, "Nah. How about two girls, instead?" Hey, I didn't get what I want, but my two girls will lay the SMACK DOWN on ANY BOY who gets stupid on them. (Fact.) So it evens out...

God already knows our needs and he provides them. God already knows our wants and provides them if he believes we need them. To me, prayer is to thank God for all he has done and continues to do in my life.

We should ASK, not demand, and also thank him. Always ask for HIS will to be done, not yours. For example, you wouldn't say "Lord, protect me from any danger I might come in contact with today", pray "Lord, if it be your will, I pray that you will keep me from danger today."

NEVER DEMAND! only to thank him and to ask him......... make sure thanking him out #'s the times you ask him for things........... would you want someone/ friend or whoever always asking you for something but never thanking you for anything even though they have given you so much?
