>You can't just pray to God asking for something!
He didn’t say that, my retort was to his comment
>LOL. The purpose of prayer is to get something you want from God. It's literally the definition. Don't try to shoehorn your woowoo 'spiritual esoterism' into it.
Which is wrong. It’s God. You can Pray for whatever you want, He wants you to pray more anyway, but God answers the cries of the righteous.

The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
Psalm 34:17

For the Lord will not forsake his people for his great name's sake: because it hath pleased the Lord to make you his people.

Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way
Samuel 12:21

This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
John 5:14

The Bible has been misused by humans for thousands of years, but I don’t think humans retardation over the past millennia has been close to what Christians were originally doing from the beginning. How much do you know about Muscular Christianity peer 400 AD, or the Desert Fathers? You can still be dead to sin in your heart anon. What is your primary concern with Jesus?

Praise Lord Jesus

Read your Bible

And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
Matthew 7:3

Also to add fun trivia.

My 3 professor line up:
>Butch white lesbian
>Fiery passionate black woman married to an affluent white man
(advocates public schooling above all else, hates charter schools, yet paradoxically sent their mixed children to private catholic school)
>Latinx woman married to a black man

All 3 obese. None have children except the black woman.

I paid $30,000 for this education but I’m giving it to you all for free because it’s bonkers.
Just want to make everyone aware who is at the seat of power in controlling the flow of how our youth will be educated now and in the coming future.
