Why do we pray
It's always god's will that shall be done. I believe (correct me if I am wrong) no matter what we do, only gods will would be done. So then why do we pray for specific reasons e.g getting a job or healing a sickness, if in the end what we want won't be done if it's not gods will. Honestly speaking, I am mostly a good person, I've analysed myself a lot and the faults I have is that I have anger inside me towards my father for the stuff he has done( I am trying to forgive him) and sometimes I lie to and disobey my mother, though I am trying my best to change. Also I had been addicted to lust but I've overcame it, it's now a thing of the past. Now what I'm trying to say is that, i am trying my best to be a even better person and to avoid sins. But despite everything and all my prayers, I obviously won't get something that is not part of god's will. So now the question comes, why do I need to pray? I now feel like it's just a waste of time, all those prayers seem useless. I try to completely avoid sins as much as I can, so won't I still go to heaven despite not praying everyday. I just feel like everything is already destined, we are basically robots following a pre written script. I know what I have typed has a lot of questions, but please answer them. Thank you
