Amen Pat.  God wants us to pray it is our way of communicating with him.
And when you have a relationship with him, of course you are going to
communicate with him.  Even if you are not asking for anything we still pray
otherwise.  At least I do.  I even ask God ever morning "what am I supposed
to wear today.  God is concerned with even the little things in our lives

I would rather live my life as if there is a God, and die to find out there
isn't.  Than live my life as if there isn't a God, and die to find out there
is.

ABC's of Salvation:
Admit you are a sinner.  Rom 3:23
Believe in Christ.  Acts 16:31
Confess your faith.  Rom 10:9-10

If you believe there is not a God.  Than just die.  For without a God you
can do this.

Hi Everyone,

Just because we pray, doesn't mean we are not content with what we have.
<smile>

It's so very important to keep in touch with God and to pray for others.
