OP

Okay, that might have been a bad example. I find this sort of stuff hard to explain, so I was trying to think of something relatable to illustrate what I meant. I see a lot of my Christian friends talking about putting their trust in God, and the Lord will always do right by them, their faith will see them through, and so on, so I figured they might use prayer in a similar way. I totally am prepared to admit that I'm not Christian, and I could have completely misunderstood or gotten it all wrong. If there are any Christians reading as well, please feel free to correct me if I've said anything wrong, or given any wrong examples of your faith.

As a Christian with a higher than average exposure to Wicca (well, paganism, really, but let's not split hairs), I would equate them. Of course, there is a strong understanding in Christianity that what the penitent wants is not always the best thing so it doesn't result as expected, but I was under the impression that pagans employed a similar understanding. At least, all my pagan friends seemed to.

Thank you for the clarification, and yes, you're right. Again not speaking for all Wiccans here but there does tend to be this tendency to lean towards the side of 'We get what we most need, and not necessarily what we want'.

Ah, isn't that always the difficulty, though. There are some many shades to both religions that it is hard to get everyone to agree on, well, anything.

That and people seem afraid to see any sort of similarity, as if it invalidated either viewpoint.
