Is there such a thing as bad prayer?

[August10181]

Hello, I seem to think that there is such a thing as malicious prayer..because say like if I say something to someone or even do something, then common sense tells me that it was changed by a higher force. And thus this makes me think that bad prayer exists, because it was never my intent to do something sinful or bad. But again, there IS such a thing as prayer like this that is good. Like if you say something, someone can pray for it, and then it changes. And you CAN know that it was changed by that persons prayer. atleast i can. And yeah. Basically thats it.
I think there can be such a thing as bad prayer, because people can be connected to the devil, and the devil can answer their prayers, if it is causing hurt or damage to the person it is directed against. But remember, Jesus said, "ask anything and it will be given to you. to bring glory to the father."
P.S. I can get very creative when it comes to my interpretations of thing that happen.

Father I pray blessings on this request and that you would answer our prayer to encourage our faith in Jesus name I pray. Also taking these needs before God in prayer on the 1:15PM bbnradio.org Family Altar program.

The only bad prayer to God is the vain prayer.

the devil doesn't have any power or authority to act independently in the earth; he tricks us into using our God-given authority in the earth for his purposes instead of God's. God doesn't act in response to our Godly prayers; our Godly prayers position us to receive what He's already done for us through His past actions as Jesus.

Well God isn't going to answer silly prayers.

An example might be 'please God change that other person cos they are annoying me'. or 'send me a new husband because I'm lonely and divorced' when maybe the reason they got divorced was through their own selfishness.

We pray for His will to be done, not ours.
