If God answered our prayers at the moment he thought we needed them, would you be more mindful of what you ask?

I’m high and I a lot of crazy questions crossed my mind…
What if God listened to our prayers and answered them at the very moment he thought we needed them. So things we asked for at 5- may not have been answered until 6. And things we asked at 6 may not have gotten answered until 7…. So on, and so on.
The thing is that things we asked for at 5, we didn’t want at 6… so on and so on. So when we get them, we are shocked because we are thinking “I remember asking for this.” However, we already asked for something else 10 years later…..
Knowing this, would you be more strict when asking God for certain things?
Do you think you would be mindful when praying and asking God to give/bless you with something?

#1: God doesn't answer the prayer of the wicked and those outside of Jesus Christ.

#2: God only answers prayers according to His will. If it's not found in the Bible then don't ask.

I look at prayers. Kind of like sending a letter. I check what I say and I'm careful of my intent.

God isn't real to me. There's no difference in results for people who pray and those who don't. To me, "The Lord works in mysterious ways" is the same as "shit happens".

he's real. I've felt his guidance than one... one time I was unable to listen... the effects... worse years of my life. I foresaw the woman I loved more than anything being impregnated by her boyfriend (a man much lesser than myself) way before it even happened.

And I knew some people would answer that way….. which is why I was going to say if you don’t believe in God- KEEP IT MOVING….. You either will answer the question with an answer or just move on altogether.

no. I don't ask for anything without a well-thought out plan.

god never answered anything, so it doesn't really make a difference to me.
