I'm on lunch at the moment. I would love to talk prayer with you and goobster sometime this weekend if you'd like. Let me just put this out there as a start and we can go from there.

My view on prayer in a nutshell is, God isn't going to intercede in worldly affairs.

A large purpose of prayer is to open yourself up to understanding and following the will of God.

An additional purpose of prayer is to develop the spiritual qualities to allow you to navigate the world with strength, wisdom, and poise.

Feel free to ask any questions off of that. Keep in mind that though I've been raised a Baha'i, my viewpoints should be considered only that and not as Baha'i theology.
