An individual's view of prayer is dependant upon their understanding of God. If God knows everything, if God knows the future, if God knows what we need before we ask what purpose does prayer serve? Do we believe God will withhold healing or protection from a third person if we fail to pray? Will God assign a third person to hell if we fail to pray they be saved?
If the church could ever have an open, honest, frank study/discussion on the subject it just might benefit the church. Maybe our prayers would be more like those we find in the bible.
