However, I still think that if a Christian never prayed they would still be just as well of as if they did.<br /><br />"Praying" to God is not the same as talking to another human being. There are no qualities in this type of communication that can be compared to human-to-human conversation.<br /><br />I think part of my argument lies in the Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13902709.post-2106457727846963602010-03-10T19:41:35.100-06:002010-03-10T19:41:35.100-06:00Chester,

We tend to be so comfortable in our lives that we are not in tune with what God wants to do through us.
