Do you believe prayer is good? If so, than God prays to Himself according to you.

Gamecock is exactly right, not of our own GOODNESS. Plus, Jesus was not born with the sinful nature. So Jesus, in His humanity, COULD pray in goodness. That doesn't apply to you and me "of our own".

So, when you pray,FK, is it NOT of your own goodness or preferring the good of others to the good of yourself?

Do you think God needs our prayer to build up His power? ... Or do you think we need prayer because we desire to live in His love?
