Wolf – daven for a sport team to win? I sincerely hope you are kidding.

On the contrary… I’m absolutely serious.

Look, to you (and I) a sports team winning may be a trivial matter. But to other people, it is a serious matter — for some it may be because there is a financial incentive (you can bet the owners of restaurants and bars around Yankee Stadium would LOVE for the Yankees to get to the playoffs, resulting in extra games at the stadium), for some it may be simply because they enjoy the sport. But God is there for us to pray for, for whatever is important to us. If the outcome of a baseball game is important enough to someone that they will pray for it, then He is there for that person to pray to. I don’t believe that God turns a deaf ear toward anyone’s prayer simply because you or I think that it’s trivial and unimportant. If it’s important enough for the person to pray about, then I believe He is listening.
