It seems like this is a mistake many people make in their religious beliefs: how can you expect a supreme being to grant your wishes? How are your selfish desires for priority over the rest of the universe? Most of us aren’t praying to a genie.
It’s just one more thing that shows how Christianity is an abusive relationship. The Christian god makes you explicitly ask for things like health and happiness instead of just providing what he knows we all want, and even then he’ll give your 1 year old leukemia because torturing a child to death is a great way to test the faith of that child’s family.
One thing about being in an abusive relationship is it’s so hard to see that you’re in one until after you’ve left.
That’s a pretty shallow understanding of Christianity. Most people grow out of that: if you think prayer is for making your personal wishes come true, go find a lamp to rub in the hope of finding a Genie
