Do you see the inherent hubris in asking an all knowing, all powerful god who has a plan for us to change his mind to suit your needs? Yes

- If you're adopted and made in good standing with Hinm by the propiriation and expiation of sin's guilt that He provided to save you from his just wrath AND the things for which you ask are within His will, where 's the hubris in that?!
- Do you see the inherent hubris in assuming that people only pray to be asking God for something?
- None of the above. I pray to God to ask for the strength and courage that are necessary to do His will every day.
