Jane: I'm probably jumping right in the middle of several other topics of conversation but a thought just crossed my mind about a previous discussion.
It is about knowing or having assurance of being in God's will. And that assurance being the quality that God looks for to answer prayer.
If God is a predestinator, with a sovereign will, then why even pray to begin with ? Why even ask.? We could simply say that God loves us , we trust Him, and therefore everything will work out for the best. Why get upset when we fail in our attempts , or are disappointed about results. God , again loves us, nothing can happen that He cannot use for our ultimate good. God knows all, sees all, predicts all, is in control of all, reigns over all, God will do whatever He wants anyway, so the answer is therefore to simply trust Him, believe He is in control of every aspect of our lives, and everything will come out in a utopia like state , eventually; ( even though in the meantime everything seems to be falling apart).
What do you think ,should I adopt this belief system, if not, where is the obvious flaw ? In one statement of ten words or less ?
