Somone has a gambling problem

Name: Chad
Scripture: "And they cast lots for them and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles"

OAP: They prayed first. But still, a few days after Jesus is gone and they already resort to luck of the draw to pick out a leader of ministry? I really want to know more about the prayer, I really hope that it wasn't just the one quoted in the bible, that God knows so therefore we are going to do this and assume he is directing the lots. I can assume that this shows a devotion to God and an attempt to not let themselves get in the way, but it also seems stupid. Here God, we don't know what to do so we are going to roll the dice, and wherever they land that's who is going to get picked, we are attempting to force you to act. I really do think that this wasn't it, but I am cynical.

God let me trust you enough to give things up to you, even if it seems random. Give me the clarity to see when I need to do that and the wisdom to discern when you are speaking to me, not through chance.
