Reply #34: Perhaps God's Timing Is Different From Theirs? [View All]

or maybe they are just a bunch of loons

I don't know that praying for rain is a good or bad thing. It can't hurt? Or maybe it could?

If God were a genie to which we could ask him to give us things, would asking for rain help?

What if one asked for rain, and got a deluge and flooded, caused tornadoes, etc. killed people.

I am inclined to either not ask for specific things, or preface it with "if it is your will" (although I really believe that it is up to God and not me, and my preface makes no real difference to God, but it reminds me that I am not asking a genie for fulfillment of my wishes.

Does that make any sense?
