I think it is hard to understand that everything that happens is Gods will, (God is always in control) even though we all have a free will and have an influence on how the world is by our actions, and even prayer! I know it isn't black and white, that we interact with God somehow, but this interaction is hard to understand. Also we say only humans are responsible for evil actions, but is that entirely true? God makes it happen for us to learn, right? So how is it then possible to know what God wants to happen? God can not be all about what is good, God is also about us knowing the truth, right? Why should I pray for a certain result when God is in control anyway?
I have found peace with the subject now after I got some input from above.I received that Gods will will happen no matter what happens and no matter how bad things unfolds. It doesn't have to be so bad in the world for us to grow as it is. If we pray we will be channels for more good energy to pour into this world so the process of growing will be less bad or easier to handle. So to pray is important.
Answers from the human plane: Prayers also makes us more resilient when we experience tests. When we meet evil we can always look at what the evil brings about in ourselves and get control of that instead of trying to control the evil in others.
What I think today, the day after i wrote this, when someone says : why pray?: Some things are a waste of time praying about, I guess, like when you want a certain result, but for getting help understanding things and developing deeds it is useful. Also to just get in contact with the spiritual realm for what ever reason, as it is where we all belong.
