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"?

@caesar7 That appears to mean you're just blindly following orders.

@caesar7 As I recall, the [i]Pater noster[/i] is basically asking their god to do what it intends (or wants) to do. That seems nonsensical too.
