Aristotle never identifies the Prime Mover as god. In fact, he never particularly identifies it as conscious, although many have posited the likelihood of his having thought of it as conscious based upon clues in On the Soul, which paints the soul as a thing that is not moved in a locomotive way and yet is capable of causing that type of motion in the physical material of the body.

Aristotle thought there was an unmoved mover that could move everything else. That there had to be something that created one thing and lead to the next.

I actually stumbled on your post while looking for more information about it myself. Good luck!
Who blended Christianty with the philosophy of Aristotle delineating the boundary between philosophy and theology?
The most famous theologian to try to reconcile the teachings of Aristotle with the doctrines of the church was St. Thomas Aquinas. Aristotle's writings greatly influenced Aquinas in many aspects of his theological beliefs; Aquinas' idea of the wholly simple timeless God, for example is clearly influenced by Aristotle's theory of the Unmoved Mover. And Aquinas also uses Aristotle's ideas of the Efficient and Final Causes as a basis for his system of Natural Law, upon which many Catholic doctrines are based.

Does Aristotle's God answer prayers?
No. In the Physics he postulates an unmoved mover. In the Metaphysics he talks of a Supreme Being moving the First Heaven (not so much directly as by the First Heaven being attracted by the desireability of the Supreme Being as the soul is attracted to beauty) which imparts motion to the lower spheres including eventually our world. The Supreme Being maintains an eternal repose since will and intellect are incompatible with his eternal unchanging nature.

Who is first intercessory?
The great Greek philosopher, Aristotle, spoke of God as an unmoved mover, which we will see contrasts sharply with the biblical Yahweh, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The thought of mere mortals moving the divine into action was against the Greek concept of God, the ideal of God. The Hellenic (Greek) ideal of God is that he is an absolute, timeless and unchangeable being; a Being who is unconditioned, unchanging, impassible and totally in control. In short, God is a Being that cannot be affected by anything outside of itself. Praying to such a God would be a waste of time. He is above such interaction with fleshly humans.
