Do you pray and if so when, where and how often?

I strongly believe in the power of prayer. My resolute belief has formed over the years. While I was younger, I knew that there was something "out there", but I wasn't sure about God's place in my life. It took many years of life experiences, of praying because I didn't know what else to do, and watching miracles as a result of prayer, before I was a complete believer. I now pray every day, at all times of the day, in my car, at home, walking, looking at a tree, whenever it strikes me. I have also learned that there isn't anything special to prayer...no super secret decoder ring, no specific language or words. I just speak from my heart and have a conversation with God. And then I wait :-)

I pray at all hours of the day. I pray when I get up, when I am in my car, when I am at work, before, I go to bed and any other time that I want to. I also believe in the power of prayer.

Wow that's good.I also often pray. I am happy that you know that there is a power in prayer.God always listens to our prayers but do you know how God replies? He replies through the bible. Just pray before you read it, ask Him to open your eyes and let you see the things that you have not seen before.Then open the book and God will lead you.Then you will know God's reply.

I don't pray too much. I usually just pray every night before I go to sleep. I pray to thank God for everything I have and to make sure that everyone I know and love, including myself, stays happy, healthy and safe. I think it's a short and simple prayer, but gets right to the point.

Hi anneeliz Good for you. Me too.I do not think of it as prayer though.I think of it as talking with my loving Father as He walks with me through out the day. You got the idea though and good for you May the grace of GOD fill your heart with His wonderful love

Yes, i pray. I believe that praying is plainly talking to God. I believe that I can talk to God anytime and anywhere, like how I talk to a friend. So I pray anytime and anywhere I want, whatever I may be doing. I pray when I do household chores or when driving a vehicle. But my serious time/quiet time with God is during the night in my bedroom. This is where and when I praise,worship and pray to God seriously.

I believe in the existence of God. Before eating, I pray. Sometimes, I forget to pray but when I remember, I always find time to pray.
