Why do christians pray? [Spirituality & Religion]

According to the christian myth, their god has this great plan and always does what's best for us. Praying amounts to asking it to do something it hadn't thought of doing. Isn't it rather arrogant of them to presume they know better than their "almighty god"?

I use prayer as a way of quieting my mind and speaking to God. Of course I ask for specifics but that’s the selfish part of me. I pray for peace for myself and for others. Sometimes I don’t pray at all but question and speak to God in anger.

I don’t presume to know anything...but I know when I pray I feel better when I’m finished.
