You know, praying as taught by Christians never did make sense to me, even when I was Christian. I did pray, but I had a different model of what I was doing in my mind. The main conundrum as a Christian is that praying to God and specifically asking for something, expecting it to happen, doesn't seem to have any theological place in my mind. An all-knowing God should know what's good for you and will deliver it whether you like it or not, whether you asked for it, or not, to assume otherwise is arrogance. Also, it's evident that this is not a world in which God rewards people with favors in proportion to their faith.
