Praying to a God who bases His decisions on what we pray or don’t pray for is to pray to a lesser God than the Bible’s God. And to not pray because God predestines is to disobey the Bible’s God. But praying to a God who orders all things in His universe—right down to every word every person will ever say—is not only to pray to the Bible’s God but to have the fullest, most biblical view of prayer possible, and to embrace the fact that this God employs our prayers in the execution of His fixed eternal will and plan.
