The beginner's prayer may actually lead one to a state of sin, making their condition worse than when first begun. All manner of ignorant things may be requested, not to mention subtle accusations brought against God on why He has not answered in a specific way one previously prayed—selfish prayers to be consumed upon the beginner's own fleshly carnal desires. Whereas, praying with another more matured in the art of prayer will serve as a check for this type of praying and a guide in the correct avenue of approach.
