Hello.
What is the purpose of prayer? Does prayer accomplish anything? Does God answer prayers? If something you pray for seems to have been answered, how do you know it was God intervening and not coincidence? Furthermore, is it selfish to pray about problems in your own life when there are worse problems being experienced by other people? For example, is it okay to pray about your job situation, or for your family, when there are children dying of starvation and disease in other lands?
I haven't prayed in a few days. These questions are weighing heavily on my mind. I'm outright scared to pray to God at this point.
