Yes, but often the answer is not what I wanted or expected.
IMO learning what to ask for - and how to ‘hear’ the reply is key.
Also if you have to ‘shout’ for God to hear you, you’ll never hear his reply if you're that far away from Him!

If you did NOT get "it" the way you wanted "it", nor in the time frame you wanted "it" to happen, then maybe you are just deceiving yourself to believe that talking to yourself (praying) actually "works" even thought it didn't. If prayer actually works as claimed in the bible, you would have gotten what you wanted right away.

So how about praying to ending this damn Covid epidemic, the war in Ukraine, cancer, the climate crisis, wiping out all diseases, world hunger, oh the list is endless...
Or does it only work when you pray to your god for things only YOU want?
How do YOU know what they're praying for, or if ANY of them didn't get what they prayed for?
You honestly believe NO Ukrainian, (and many Russians) are praying for the genocide to stop?
As to how I know, last April I took medical supplies to Poland for Ukraine, and returned with a few refugees. I know at least one Ukrainian is praying for the genocide to stop.

You honestly believe that ALL Ukranians (and many Russians) are ONLY praying for the genocide to stop?

And what about the others? Ever occur to you that *you* may have been the answer to their prayers?

So you think some of the Ukranians are praying for continued war and suffering?
Oh, don't be ridiculous, phet. You know what I mean. The point is, that SOME Ukranians may be praying for the war to end. Others may be focusing on the more immediate...such as, praying for the safety of themselves/family...or praying to get warm blankets or find food...or that their family stays together...or that they get OUT of the Ukraine, and find employment...or to find some token that's missing, buried underneath the rubble of what used to be their home...or clean water...or a toilet...

Answering a question with another question is just dishonest. So once again, do you honestly believe NO Ukrainian, (and many Russians) are praying for the genocide to stop?

So I should deliver aid to the Ukrainians, and then fight for the Russians to answer the prayers of those who want Russia to win?

That's your opinion.
And I've already answered the question. Not directly to you, but answered nonetheless.

Interesting how you accuse me of being dishonest (because I answered a question with a question), and then you turn around and do the same thing.
