If you really think about it, you are being a total douche when you pray for anything

You are basically telling god... that you know what is best, more than god does

By praying, you are saying...
"Hey god, I know you don't want to give me a new car, but I want it anyway"
"Screw your perfect/divine plan god, I want a new car... me me me me me me, it's all about me"

If it is god's will... why are you trying to change god's will?

Do you really think you know better than god does?

Or, are people just selfish and don't care what god has planned?

Praying is not just for saying what you want it is also for those that want to share their problems with too God. I think it is not being douce sayong what you want but entrusting that God would always be in control and His will be done. There is nothing wrong in sayig that you would like this and this but in the end, you know that His will be done and that is everything that you can hope for.

Nice. We pray like what you said not to just always asking for what we want. We should pray because there are things that we do not know comes to us in a form of blessings. We are blessed but we do not know why because He gave that blessings. Are we good enough or did we do something really nice that He gave us a sort of reward that we call blessings? Simple things that makes us realized that without Him we can do nothing and without Him we are nothing. It is not good to boast on things that we acquire such as honor, achievements, or money. He is the reason why we have those things because of His blessings. If He wants, he can take all that from us. Be thankful always.
