Makes perfect sense to me, from a practical viewpoint. However, one of the purposes of honest prayer is devotion and union with a spiritual force.

I don't pray and don't believe in such things, but I do think that some people may pray for reasons other than requesting miracles.

I agrea partly, but first I wanna note that I haven't prayed alot in my live up on now. About the statement A.Russell quoted, I agrea with Matt his first point of view. But I don't think that when praying for something to come true like passing for an exam at school isn't a miracle for some people. So when people pray they mostly do it to a kind of 'thing' that is a God for them to make their 'questions' come true which when it happens it is a miracle for those people even when it's a non related miracle request. For myself, I don't believe in miracle events but I also wouldn't pray for that kind a stuff, I just make sure I pass by studying
