"My cloistered brothers" are getting closer to the answer to "What do you expect to happen when you pray?". We are reading Tomes Halik's Is God Absent?. The discussion brought up the question. We tied it to the Olympics, which is presently taking place. We asked, "Is everybody praying to win?"
We decided asking God for things is like hoping magic happens. Rather, our prayers should be contemplative, in trying to discern God's Will. We should ask to understand God's plan for us.
