If god is all knowing then why does god have to listen to prayers? Check mate.?

Your mom knows that you love her. Do you tell her anyway? Your queen is in jeopardy.

Prayer is for us not God. It is how we communicate with him. He want us to come to him as trusted friend.

Prayers is not for HIM, but for US. To keep us connected to Him.

I'm a Baha'i, a member of the Baha'i Faith. We believe there is only one God, that sent Buddha, Jesus, Moses, etc to humanity, now Baha’u’llah has come.

That one is praying to God for something, is an act of worship. It is also an personal admission that our own abilities to provide for ourselves is limited. Seeking God's provision is a literal admission that we need God, and He loves for us to ask Him, so that He can provide the things we need. Your checkmate was / is premature.

No one gets anywhere with out talking .

that's not a real contradiction. It's the same reason someone can see you but you have to wave at them to feel like they pay attention to you. In other words, it's a human thing, not an actual requirement for god.

Prayer is not for God prayer is for you nothing and I mean nothing works better to make you realize that you haven't need then hearing yourself acknowledge that need with your own ears when you pray you acknowledge your need convincing yourself that you have one hopefully other people heard you pray and now know that you have a need and will feel sorry for you and you having a knowledge that you have a need or more likely to go seek out the people and the places where you can get the help and as you do so the good Lord will put the correct person in your path this is how spiritual recovery works and it's proven on a daily basis through alcohol and drug programs if you don't understand what prayer is you're missing one of the most powerful disciplines that a person can possibly have in his life

You are a booby.

That winning checkmate occurred while reading the first line of Genesis.

"God said, "Let there be light". Who was he talking to?

And this is written in third person. That alone was a checkmate.

IN both OT and NT God acknowledges that prayer tells Him NOTHING. Checkmate, ignorant moron.
