I do find value in seeing and listening to the way God has worked in individuals lives, and seeing more and more the character of God. For as you said, God is not a genie or somehow below us as to grant all of our wishes. He is One who makes decisions and guides our lives, seeing outside of time, and able to answer our prayer requests if He so chooses. The question I have on prayer is when it became a forum for our requests. The nature of prayer seems ideally a conversation with our LORD as to grow relationally. And if prayer is in fact a conversation, how many conversations do we have with our loved ones here on earth that only consist of requests? <br />Just my thoughts.Laddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09939030956561771438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8755171752803157077.post-51686331481640417642009-07-02T22:01:11.492-07:002009-07-02T22:01:11.492-07:00Chris, is that directed toward me or David?Chris, is that directed toward me or David?Louishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07276304333361151814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8755171752803157077.post-46337576261090636612009-07-02T21:03:46.802-07:002009-07-02T21:03:46.802-07:00God is a person?God is a person?Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15206184763995015648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8755171752803157077.post-14252200336563663382009-07-02T15:59:24.174-07:002009-07-02T15:59:24.174-07:00Hey Louis, great post!

I know that sounds weird to most people at first, but like you said, God is not an impersonal force. If answered prayer could be statistically predicted than that would make the one who answers prayer on the same level as other natural laws that we can predict. But God is not a force, He is a person.

My friend.<br />This post has made me happy, on account of a few conversations we recently had.<br /><br />"God has never promised consistent positive answers to prayer. Where did they get the idea that Christianity teaches that God has to do whatever a Christian asks for?"<br /><br />Our God is not a fucking genie.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15206184763995015648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8755171752803157077.post-63022543745461789672009-07-02T08:34:43.997-07:002009-07-02T08:34:43.997-07:00amen!
