We can ask God for anything, as long it is in harmony with His will. Matthew 6: 9,10 shows that Jesus told us to pray to His Father, who is in heaven, for His will to take place as in heaven also on earth.

According to 2 Timothy 3: 16,17 God's word was written to be beneficial for us, so that we can be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work.

2 Timothy 3: 1-5 describes what we should not be in these words. " Lovers of of money, boastful, haughty, blasphemers, disloyal, without self-control and so forth.....

Galatians 5: 22,23 shows what is expected, according to God's requirements, which is the spirit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, mildness, self-control. Against such things there is no law. And as we all know and confirmed in The Bible, in Galatians 6: 7. " We reap what we sow".

So to anaswer your question, which is " Is asking God for something okay? The answer is YES. God want us to be happy and helps us to make the best choice. But are we willing to listen to Him when he speaks to us through the knowledge of His WORD?

The Bible assures us that Jehovah God is near to all those calling on Him, to all who call on Him in truth... He hears their cry for help, confirmed in Psalm 145: 18,19; Philippians 4: 6; 1 Peter 5: 7.

Baptists typically close their eyes when they pray so as not to be distracted. They talk to God, usually thanking Him for things He has given them or asking Him for help in certain areas of their lives. Praying is simple. All you have to do is talk to God. He is always listening.


Why do Catholics build churches in honor of saints and worship them?

To clarify, we do not worship anyone but God himself. We, a monotheistic religion do not worship someone that is under the rule of God, it is illogical. Saints did not do good things to be worshipped, they did good things because they wanted to serve God, to bring glory to his name. Their works weren't meant to bring attention to themselves, but to God, but they can't completely keep themselves humble once they have become canonized as saints.What appears to be worshipping saints is really just asking them to intercede for us2, and asking them to pray for us*. We also venerate and honour these saints as well, praising them but not worshippnig them.It has nothing to do with worshipping saints but honouring them and praying to God through them.---- *We know that we can pray directly to God, but this is a more humble way of praying to Him. Also, they are saints, they are close to the Lord so their prayers would be more powerful than ours, since they are in heaven, they already know how to perfectly pray to God.2 Pray to God through someone else. Kind of like asking someone to tell another person something. One exapmle of this is Moses, only he could talk to God so people would ask Him to tell God.
