One of the questions I asked when I was a child was why god would need me to tell him what I needed when he is supposed to know everything, see everything, and be all powerful?
Another I asked is why would this god want us to worship them, my mother doesn't want me to worship her, why would this person that I am supposed to see as a dad want my worship?
God wants people to come to him because we turned our backs. Prayer is a way to always have other's sake in heart and mind and is an exercise of grace. There's a lot more to it but that is giving you an idea of why without writing you a college lecture worth of stuff.

That's still a bunch of nonsense. This god would be able to read my intent, no need for all the worship and pleading, he'd simply know.
why shoud God give you something you didn't bother to ask him for........

You're confusing God,with organized religion.
Unless you're saying You had a personal Epiphany,and during that Epiphany God told you to worship him.

Seems some are confused on faith, it isn't aristotelian, you are never going to make sense of it in quantitative terms, you either have it or you don't
You either NEED it or you don't.
I read the Bible at that time, poorly (I was young), and that was the only god that I had been introduced to (other than the "anti" god Islamic folk who believed that Allah wanted that same stuff)...
My questions were Christian centralized, because that was my exposure to what "god" had to say. In those books it is important to worship this god, and the god even teaches folks how to pray... so I asked questions. Almost always got in trouble for them too.![]()
So Trump is your God now?
