Some would ask," Please pray for person X" How do we pray for things when God is omnipresence, omnipotence or omniscience? What I mean here is: God predestined for Person X to be in a certain condition. How are we to pray for something that wasn't predestined or planned for Person X. If we pray for David not to go to jail and at the same time, God planned David to go to jail for later purposes, wouldn't our prayers be useless and a waste of time. Would we hurt ourselves trying to change God's plan for person X. I remember in several movies when one dies and the other takes revenge while another suggest not to take revenge since it was God's plan for things to happen. Another example comes from another type of ancient prayer techniques is that the person X must ask for prayer himself and then the person being asked can pray since God predestined person X to do the asking or otherwise the person that prays for person X will do more harm to themselves.
I'm not sure if I'm asking the question right but in the charismatic style of prayer has some sort of command like a faith to cast a demon out or an order to change things. A "believe first and it shall be answered" type of prayer. Such prayer may go against God's plans. Are we to pray like 'hope' or are we to pray like a command? One example is another person asks me to pray for the person that rejects discussing the gospel due to our differences in belief. Another example would be: I prayed for something and become embarrassed that my prayer was ineffective due to God having other plans.
Seems to me that the person that needs prayer ought to ask for the prayers themselves as a permission to do so rather than the third party doing the asking.
