When you pray to god, are you asking him to change his mind or suggesting you know better than him?

do not unless he asks. just pray for him. and if he does ask, prayer's still good part of the help.

If it's something that you really want and God knows you'll be happy, He'll answer your prayer. He knows what He's doing. God knows what's best for people and He knows what they want. You just need to pray and talk to Him. \n\nIf it was really ment to be, God will know. He wants you to be happy.

God answers those who humbly acknowledge He is God. He resists the proud (James 4:6). Also, refusing to acknowledge sin in one's life can hinder answer to prayer (The Lord is far from the wicked but he hears the prayer of the righteous - Prov. 15:29). In my experience, He answers, just not always in the way I had hoped he would. I've been so disappointed in the answer sometimes that I questioned 'why ask when He's just going to do what He wants anyway?' But if I believe that His will is never wrong, then why should I complain when He does things His way and not mine?

The prayer's so powerful. You just have to have faith when you pray. Our prayer's always heard by God. He never forgotten nor ignore us. Things just don't happen right away. God let things to happen according to His plans and not according to our own will. Sometimes, you'll be surprised cuz He'll give you better and bigger than what you've asked for.

You have to have faith when you ask God for something. You can't doubt that it won't happen. It will always be in God's time not yours. I am sorry you doubt he will answer your prayers but put as faith into he will as you do in doubting him...N

I'm glad someone else feels this way.  It just seems so wrong to pray to anyone but God.  It says in the bible, you should address anyone, but God in your prayers.

Continue to pray, but be prepared that when we ASK things of God, sometimes the answer is "no."  It is always for our own good, for what we want and desire is often not what we truly need.\nPray.  Ask.  Seek.  If the answer is "Yes," then bless you both.  If the answer is "No," however, have faith and move on.

I think sometimes we shut and open doors ourselves, and then say that it is God playing games with us. I think you just need a bit more time, and patience with what God is doing in your life. Allow yourself time to hear God. \n\nI also think God has moved you on to a new level with Him. That is maybe a bit more difficult than where you were previously. That is why this seems a bit more difficult to figure out. God is constantly wanting us to move forward, and to move higher. Relax in what God wants, and if you are not sure, then just wait a while. \n\nNothing happens in our timing, no matter how hard we try to control time we can not. Also, a big thing for me, is to go on what peace I have. If I have complete peace, not a shadow of a doubt, then I know that it is what God wants. But if there is even a smallest of a fraction of doubt. Then I know that I should not pursue that what I was wanting to. \n\nKeep praying and asking God for the answer. He will give you the answer, maybe the answer is already given, but you yourself are opening and closing doors... \n\nThis could be also a big test for you, to see how much you are willing to give up for God. Sometimes, when we give up one thing, God gives us something far greater than what we ever imagined. \n\nI dont know the whole situation here, but rest in God. That is the only thing I can say works. Spend time with Holy Spirit, allowing Him to work in your life, and to show you the way that you must go....\n\nI wish you all the best in what you are facing... it can not be easy, but know that God is right there with you. He never leaves your side. He knows what is best for you....

yes, I have conversations with GOD daily...many times a day actually..and HE does answer back...there are times that HE actually initiates..\n\nI was washing dishes the other week complaining to myself in my mind about all the difficulties I was having and how I didn't want to fool with any of it anymore...thinking to myself now...then HE spoke to me...HE told me that I was put here on this earth to do HIS will, and if I didn't want to do HIS will, then my purpose for being here was done, and I could be removed...\n\nHumbling, very humbling..\n \nThere are times that HE speaks to me, but not like the above mentioned incident.  HE has spoken to me concerning my husband's healing and health issues, HE has held me and comforted me through the death of my best friend...There are times that I talk and it's like HE doesn't hear because HE doesn't answer immediately, BUT, it is to teach me patience and the fact that it is worth waiting on GOD's answer.\n\nGOD BLESS YOU

I talk to God as if he were a friend talking a walk with me. I start off kinda formal and then get friendly and casual. "Dear God/Lord, Please do this or that if it's what you know is best, but if not....or how can I reach so and so and help him...oh, I know I can show them that passage in the Bible. Cool, thanks for bringing that to my mind." \n\nSometimes I get a revelation during the conversation. Yes I said conversation. I don't think of it as me talking to God, but us having a conversation with each other. Cuz if you aren't planning on listening to him, then you are wasting your time.\n\nOthers I may not hear or feel the answer right away. It may take days, weeks, months or years. Sometimes the answer doesn't come in a feeling or revelation but in the form of an action from someone else....certain circumstances will show me why God did what he did or why he led me in a certain direction.\n\nGod Bless you\nby the way: I am a Christian and I thank God for sending His son to die for us in my prayers too.\n\nP.S. I pray silently if I'm in public or around others. If I by myself, I talk out loud a lot. I really like to pray when I am walking alone or driving.
