It would, IF the relationship is merely transactional. But if the relationship is personal and love is the basis, then no. My kids know I love them. By the logic, it would be absurd for me to tell them, since they know. But I tell them often because sharing our hearts matter in our relationship. I also relate to God as Father :)

No. Part of faith is the humility and understanding that you need help. Prayer does that. thus reaffirming his hand on your life. If he just did it we would forget where the grace is coming from

this was a big issue for me, however I began to understand that the act of praying is a form of meditation, affirmation and manifestation.
I no longer "pray", but I do meditate affirm and manifest.

Prayer is your relationship with God. That is what He wants.

I struggled with this for years before I left. Like why do I have to beg you for things? Why can’t you just be nice?

It's Faith in him. He always answers if you believe just not always in the way you wish.

Prayer circles are just people getting enough likes for God to step in.

no prayer shows him your willing to ask, to work, and to earn something. it shows devotion. he knows but he wants you to show.

Matthew 7:7-11 covers this pretty well. God is our father. He knows our needs but expects us to ask for things just like we expect our kids to.

I don’t think praying implies what you are saying. Praying is simply a human speaking to the Divine. Not all prayers are prayers of requests. Prayer isn’t a contract and shouldn’t be used exclusively for requests anyways. It’s like a kid asking his mother for food. She knows the kid needs food, but the kid still asks. And that is ok.

John Tolin :
it's a subtle nuance of term
praying to God is the worship of God
to petition God is to ask for something that you want or need
All petitions are prayers but not all prayers are petitions.

for me is the same as asking a 4-year-old to ask for something that you already know they want.

what about when someone asks you to pray for them but doesn't tell you why.

Interesting question…it actually came up at Mass. Here is the message we received… prayer helps you establish a relationship with God, it is not just for asking God for what you want. In addition, God does care but knows more about what you really need than you do.

No faith is a two-way street. You have to have a relationship with God in order for your needs to be fulfilled and that involves talking to him which is what prayer is.

I never understood asking other people for prayers during hardship. like shouldn't your own be enough? does God have like a tally system, he needs so many before he intervenes..

Eh, if you are only praying for what you will get I can see that viewpoint. But if you view it as a relationship with a creator, its an opportunity for communication and self expression. Such as expressing appreciation for what we already have.

Praise is about thankfulness and gratitude. Everything else is just us trying to cope with the human condition.
