Why pray when God already has a plan? It seems rather foolish to pray for the future to be a certain way when God has already decided how it's going to be. As though we know best to ask for it to be a certain way.
Why try to build a picture of God from others experiences and opinions, and even our perceptions of what the Bible is saying, if we run such a high and probable risk of creating a false image of who God really is and then worshiping it?
I, and not just I, I have been reminded, am afraid that if I build up a picture of God I will once again discover that I have him completely wrong and have been talking to a figment of my imagination, because the god I've built is not He.
I'd like to know straight from him who he is and what he wants from me. Don't go telling me the Bible's all I need.
