Phenomenology of Prayer
“What should we pray for?”
In this section of the
book, the author talks about what we should pray for and how we should pray for
that specific thing. It says that if we pray for others than we should do it in
a way where we don’t compete with them, but we should pray good things upon
them. I agree with this whole-heartedly. The God I pray to would not wish for
me to pray evil things on others and would certainly not answer those prayers.
This section also speaks of praying for goods. It says that if you are praying
for goods than it needs to be because those goods would better you. My God
would only answer prayers and only want me to pray for things that honor him.
Praying for an xbox is in no way a need, or a good that betters you.
