Transcend: Why Pray?

I find it so interesting how I'm in a job now as I was with my previous job where I know someone that doesn't believe in God, yet....talks about him in the sense that he's trying to disprove he exists. Claims its just what other people think, why do "other" people think like this? he asks. The most interesting chat today was about prayer. "Why Pray"? He asked. When everyone in the world lives to be around the same age and whether you are a believer or not you still end up dying of the same stuff.

You know, God never intended that we were to be immuned from the same problems and diseases that un-believers deal with. When your trying to understand the question "why pray" for those that believe its your direct line with God, we know this well. On the other hand I just continually get the question in my head when I have these chats with people, "why not believe? Isn't that better then believing in nothing at all?" Why pray I ask? It might help save those people that we know in our lives that do not know or see God daily because they have bought into the devil's lies, may we all pray for those around us that do not see and do not know the glory of the lord and the goodness that the rest of us are so blessed to know on a daily basis.
