"I would feel like a fake if I did, because once you ask God something, do you think he forgets what it was, so you have to repeat it over and over every day of your life?"

Are you saying when you pray, all you do is ask God for "something?"

I know you didn't intentially put that "for" in there, especially when I said "asking God things," so I won't mention it. :-)

No, I do not only ask God for things, I spend most of my prayer time praising Him for what He's done in my life and going back over my life and how I can now see Him there every step of the way, when at times I thought I was alone.

I spend a lot of time contemplating his word, the history of man, and how awe struck i am at his Genius as an inventor.

Had you ever considered the possibility that for Him to know how a small animal or a bird or insect needs to function, He may have become one, long enough to know it's every need and fear,and it's shortcomings, and how it fits into the species.

So yes, I do more then ask for things.
