Is prayer really about changing ourselves or is it just a way to cope with the uncertainty and chaos of life?

I was in a job that had a very toxic working environment a year ago. l prayed to God and told him how unhappy l was and that l was scared to look for another job because l didn't have the motivation to search for another job. I then asked God what he wanted me to do about my working situation. God took me on a 7 month journey and helped me to find another job in a really healthy working environment. l am so thankful and happy that he lead me from a miserable and toxic job to a job where l am happy and look forward to coming to work.

God never ignores your prayers, He always answer it. There are 3 answers : Yes, No, and Be Patient! He has plans for you

I got a job yesterday that is 10K more than my last job and is less stressful. I went for the interview being 3 months out of work due to health issues. The chances of me getting it was slim, next to nothing. I’m under qualified (luckily they offer 8 weeks training) but I was honest and gave my interview absolutely everything. I poured my emotions into my prayer that morning, I left my religion and only came back a week ago. I’m prayed that my nerves settled or that they’d make me stronger. I asked that whatever is planned for me will pay off and that if it is the right path I’ll get it. No word of a lie my subconscious was talking to me and usually that’s just one voice, our own, but I heard another voice at the same time that just said in my heart, “I will deliver.” I felt nothing but a chill through my body and I ended up going to the interview, scoring high in both the assessment we had to have before and smashed the interview. God is good☦️

It stinks when the answer is possibly “no”. My 41 yo wife has cancer and we have 3 kids. I pray for her but it doesn’t seem to matter. I can’t imagine life without her. It terrifies me.

[mythhead]

God has three answers
1. Yes
2. Not yet
3. I have something better

[abbeylorraine]

This actually comforted me by a ton. I had just started to become Christian again after being non-religious (not atheist because I still believed in a higher power) for most of my life.

So when getting into the habit of praying, I have always been worried whether or not God heard my prayers and thinking about it really hurt me. So watching this gave me a lot of peace and reassurance. Thank you for coming out with this video ❤

Also wow I didn’t expect to see so many atheists in this comment section haha

I was all about prayer but after suffering so much I just can't anymore . It's been 3 years( since 2021)and I had to deal with a very strong chronic insomnia. If u haven't felt what being sleep deprived for years is like then it's better not to describe it. I started college in 2022 and it was insanely hard year for me.I don't know what to do now, I've been praying for so long so God can heal my mental health and addictions but i swear it's like talking to a wall. I'm angry and dissapointed with God. I don't know if he hears me or if he's good.

For me, prayer is not about asking. It is about connecting with God. It's about seeking God. He Himself is the greatest pleasure, the highest beauty, the most magnificent wonder. Nothing else can even compare to the surpassing riches of experiencing Him. He Himself is the very greatest of rewards.

Ben's "gumball machine prayers" analogy is spot on for how many people see prayer today. One of the biggest mistakes people make in praying, is that they pray for what they believe they want or need, when in reality it's what God wants or needs for us. God knows us better than we know ourselves. The other thing is, in today's world we expect God to be like this fast food drive-through employee, granting our prayers almost immediately, when in fact it could be weeks, months or even years for prayers to be granted. God works at His pace, which is always perfect and He knows best. You just need to put your trust in God, and let Him do the work.

So, I prayed for my cancer stricken daughter, just 12 yo. She was a beliver, too. I prayed everyday, for hours, for a year and a half. And she died, anyway. So, I guess, the prayer is not an act of asking for something but then... what are the words of a prayers if not asking for things? Whatever the prayer is, it might not work, even in a right cause. A sad thing.

After my girlfriend broke up with me on top of my grandpa having a major surgery, losing my job, and my wallet all within a 2-3 week period, I was torn apart. The only choice I could make was either go to church, or try to deal with it all on my own like that was gonna fix anything. I relented my control over circumstance and went to church genuinely in a place of mental anguish. I said the rosary a few times and I prayed asking God to help me get through this mental trauma or at least allow my eyes to be opened past it so that I don’t fall into the the loathsome pit of depression. After the mass we went to the hospital room where my grandpa was recovering and I was just feeling bad surfing youtube. Suddenly in my mind out of nowhere, like a real eureka moment, I received clarity of mind. I honestly don’t know how or why it happened. It made no sense other than God or the blessed mother heard my prayers and had mercy on my soul, because that feeling was so relieving, the closest I can describe is like being lost in a dark hallway just walking straight for what seems like eternity asking why keep walking, and suddenly you see a door open in your view so bright as you walk out and can see the world again. I’m still not 100% over the breakup, but that’s to be expected. I did receive some grace or peace of the mind much earlier than most people get being that I got it 3 days after. My grandpa is doing great after surgery, he just needs to exercise now. I believe God said to me, look at all these things you’ve achieved on your own and what you’ve done with them without me. How much are you willing to stay alone without me in your life? Clearly nothing here on earth matters without God because he’s the only one that granted me peace mentally when people broke my heart, stole from me, fired me, and disease threatened family.

i was born in a christian family, didn't understand the true meanings of christianity because i was just told to go to church and pray with only one reason (so i don't go to hell)... had a rough childhood and teenage phase, became an atheist, and then an agnostic, but then i felt one day God led me into him one more time through one of Jordan Peterson's video where he opened a whole new perspective of faith. And videos like these are making me understand more and more about God. And i have never felt this thankful all my life to God, to the universe, and to all the people who are striving making this world a better place and have chosen life over death.

God never ignores your prayers he may not come when you want him to but he comes on time when YOU REALLY need him to

[LostInTheFuture]

My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, I'm down and suffering, I'm in doubt and I need your hand. Please God hear my prayers. Amen

[whitesugarsweetchristine]

I've never had a pràyer ignored. I always receive an answer or an end to my crying. You must listen quietly and do not ignore the message. It comes to you in your own voice. But you receive an answer.

God bless you all and your loved ones 🙏❤

[officialrivv]

Whenever you're depressed, sad or hurt. Just think about how Christ felt when he was walking with his cross with everyone heckling him and cursing his name around him. Think about his passion for us, and see if your problems surpass his

[lekat]

I so appreciate the sharing of these discussions. A blessing for me and others who will hear.❤🕊🌷
