Thank you for the excellent post about prayer in the trueseeker blog
Jeffrey. I copied it into Wordpad and saved it. Your analysis seems
to fit all circumstances, including specific requests such as that of
Samson's mother and later that of Samson himself and others recorded
in the Hebrew Scriptures. It seems logical to me that there are
occasions when God blesses eligible and humble hearts with the desire
to pray in order for them to receive gifts and blessings .

One of the questions the Orthodox Baha'is have been discussing lately
is the power and efficacy of prayer and supplication. In light of the
pending court action by the sans-Guardian Bahais against the Orthodox
Bahá'ís, it raises the spectacle of Orthodox Bahá'ís praying for
victory while the sans-Guardian Bahais presumably are also
supplicating Baha'u'llah for victory. It certainly cannot be that the
prayers of either side would persuade God to take one side or another
in the court action. Certainly God knows where He stands without us
telling Him what to do or believe.
Since God already knows what we and others need, what is the purpose
of supplicating to Him to fufill those needs?
