[Faith-talk] Some thoughts on prayer

[Ashley Bramlett]

Stephanie,
Prayer is also a way to become close to God. I also have been frustrated at 
times because we pray for certain things, and God does  what he wants, and 
we have to deal with difficult circumstances.

Sometimes, I feel like giving up trying, but have to remind myself my wishes 
may not be God's wishes and things will work out for the best.
Now, I have a degree and am attempting to buld my experience through 
volunteering since internships did not give me enough work. I have 
encountered barrier after barrier including not being able to do a job due 
to its visual aspects and one nonprofit saying I could not install jaws at 
their site.
I prayed for God to use my talents of writing and other communication skills 
somewhere. so far, its not happening.

So I keep trying and often feel useless. But, as I said, God does have 
plans.

Keep the faith.
Ashley

Hi all,
I want to offer some thoughts I'd been having lately, and want to know what 
you all think.
For me right now, it seems prayer is just a way to ask for what we want. It 
seems that God is going to do what he wishes, regardless of what we pray or 
don't pray. Life is like a deck of cards, and you have to deal with the hand 
you have.
So, what's the point of prayer?
I know the pat answer is that it's to get our will in line with God's will.
But God is just going to do what he wishes, anyway, just some thoughts.
Steph
