I find it astounding a Christian could disagree with that statement. Read your Bible and learn the truth.
"But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him." -- Matthew 6:7-8"For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive?" -- 1 Corinthians 4:7
Again, the humility thing seems to be an issue for some of my separated brethren.
LOL. It's not the reformed who disbelieve God's word or think they know more than He does or presume to take the glory that belongs to God alone and carelessly disperse it among the creatures as if it were their own.
Per your dismissal of my statement...
Does God not understand what we need before we even ask?
Does God not hear all prayers?
Does God not know our prayers before we say them?
Does God not know what we require before we ask?
Does God not know what will become of us even as we pray for something to occur or not occur?
"O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps." -- Jeremiah 10:23
