Do you pray to God only when you need something?

Answers (5)

Some people do. But I think the question should be should you pray only when you need something. Doing so would be as if you view God as your personal Genie, at your beck and call awaiting to grant you a wish. The bible shows that he has feelings and a personality. He wants us to build a close personal relationship with him. Doing that would be communicating with him on a regular basis not just when we want something.

Good question. How will you feel if someone calls you only when they need something? You probably will feel all the person knows you for is to use u conveniently, in fact it will even hurt more when it's someone close to you. Imagine you have a child and everytime your child gets in trouble or faces hard times it's the only time you hear from that child., how will you feel? You no doubt will feel hurt and disappointed.
The Bible tells us at James 4:8, "Draw close to God and he will draw close to you." Your Heavenly Father is offering you an invitation to be his special
friend. What kind of friendship it will be if you only call on God when you need something? Think about friends you have now do they commend you,thank you and encourage you ? It's normal to be thankful . Well since God is our Grand Creator, and he gave us life should you not be thanking him for every breath you take. We have so many reasons to thank our Heavenly Father for, the provisions such as food,clothing and shelter.
Proverb 27:11 tells us we have an opportunity to make God's heart rejoice.
Imagine having the opportunity of bringing joy to the heart of the Almighty God, it's a previledge we not deserving of yet he wants to be your friend.
So to answer your question directly no, I don't not pray to God only when I need something, but I go to him in prayer regularly, thanking him, praising him and begging him to forgive me my errors. I do everything in my power to make his heart rejoice .
So even though we could go to God for help at any time please see other opportunities as I mention to call on him. Its the most rewarding friendship
you could ever form.

We pray to God when weird aliens spend half of their day writing weird nonsense all of the Internet.

Votes: +0 / -1

then some say they have all of the needs to decipher what is required.

When we pray to God only when we need something, it is not prayer. It is just begging God. Like they say, there are beggars inside a church and a temple just as there are outside. The difference is that the ones outside are sitting outside and begging, the ones inside are sitting inside and begging. But true prayer is union with God, true prayer is experiencing God in the temple of our heart, true prayer is uniting with God, being in the consciousness of God's Divine presence, true prayer is experiencing God in one and all, in everything beautiful around us. Prayer is not a scheme to move God to fulfill our dreams, prayer is not a method to solve our problems. Prayer is realizing God, connecting with God and becoming one with God.
