"Everything happens for a reason" "God has a plan for us all" "God is all knowing" all comments you'd expect from a follower of any major religion. Most of these religions will also contain some sort of prayer system. So my point today is this: If everything happens according to some divine plan, why would god change it for you? And if god knows everything, that surely includes your wishes, so how does saying them out loud help?
Even if we assume the universe is run according to the whims of some divine entity, how self centred and egotistical must you be to believe you are important enough for it to intervene in your life? Do you really believe your problems are so important that they eclipse every other issue in the universe? The very idea of preying is basically saying that you are all that matters in the entirety of existence.
And regardless of your opinions on religion and prayer, you have to admit that there are better things that you you could be doing on your knees.
