[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So let's discuss this one. If God is loving Father he should love all his creatures and children alike. No favs. Right? But if one prays for something, why should God fulfill that request? For one it is favoritism, for two it is not fair to others who did not ask... because God as a Good Father
should see the needs of his children and do his best to help them just as humans do right? A good father does not wait for a child to ask or pray but gives freely according to his abilities to help a child in need.

But! just but.. what if God does not really play favorites with humans and things happen at random? What if God wants to be just and does not help nobody over the next person? Then it would be fair and then the prayer for things and gains would have no basis. Then people would just have to be nice to God and God would not give nothing to no one. Would then people love God knowing that no matter how hard they would pray they would not get ahead of the next dude? That would be interesting to see.

Yes, God loves all his creatures but not all creatures are his children.  Until one accepts Jesus as the leader of their life — giving up control and confessing  their immorality —-, there is no relationship with God.  Until then, one is not a child of His.  Those who decide to accept him as leader of their life (believers/children) have access to God through prayer.  Those who have not accepted him do not have access to a relationship with him through prayer.

We live in a fallen world (since the fall of Adam and Eve) and as a result, bad things are going to happen while we’re here.  Believers/children trust in God to help them through this difficult life until they reach eternity (his 2nd coming).  There is no playing favorites.  He wants everyone to come into a personal relationship with him.  Love is not forced and many have rejected Him in favor of their own way.  Believers/children can pray to Him but ultimately His will is going to prevail.  We are to trust His will even if it doesn’t make sense to us on this side of Heaven.  He sees the whole picture —-  we do not and we are naive if we think we know more than the creator.  As the great Billy Graham once said, “I’ve read the end of the Bible, it’s all going to turn out right.”

Bottom line, He loves each and every one of us and wants us to love Him back.[/quote]
