Have experience like you ask God something and then you are acting to force God to give you something..?I did... i think many times, but when i realize it what i did to Him, i was thinking in my mind that i should not do this to Him,but wait only what God when allow to give.
I know that it is prayer,but i am to be patient,but practice to be humble and wait patiently...

I am not sure I have forced him. But I have asked for the same things many times and using the word "please" maybe is the same as forcing...? Not sure but I think it's normal. The things we are praying for don't easily come becoz we also have to work for it to get something we want. And yes, you are right, we have to be patient.

I think is not ,when you say please is different to give me that Lord..or you force Him to give you somehing that is not the right for you or will..
God is in control of what we need,God just want our ptient..

Dear writer,
I agree too that many times we pray to God for selfish desires. Of course i do believe that the prayer(as our daily life) should be always for the sake of others. I think God knows already who you are and what you want. So...you are write. Humble and patient and ... LET IT BE

Yes true..God knws already ,before we ask or pray to Him.

I hae no doubt as to the power of prayer. I pray to the god Ganesha, who among his other attributes oversees creative endeavors, to inspire my writing every morning and on most days receive the requested inspiration. Does that inspiration come from a god? I think not. I think it comes from the act of prayer which focuses my mind on the task at hand.
Prayer works best on things that are within our direct control because as an act of meditation if provides the focus that helps us to accomplish whatever endeavor we set out on.
