Does praying help you in your life? If so, how does it help you? When I was little I prayed all the time. I prayed for a new barbie, and money, and candy. lol How much time do you spend praying each day? Does it bring you peace?

Absolute truth.. I don't have a definite time allotted for praying. I believe that when you talk to God in any right manner, anytime, anywhere, even not in formal/normal way, you're praying. by praying, i'm having a peaceful mind (having no doubt). This also makes me strive harder to reach what i want and believe that God will do the rest.

that is the whole basis of religion, is belief, and blind faith.

I grew up in a family who's not religious. I was brought up not close to Him. When i was in High School and in a religious school praying was slowly taught to me and reading Bible too. I pray because that is what taught to me but i don't pray it with heart. But when i was so down and no one to turn to i learn and appreciate the true meaning of prayer. For me prayer is a miracle, when you ask for it with all your heart prayers do come true. I turn to Him several times and all my prayers was answered.

Praying does bring me peace. I usually pray on my way to and from work. I have 30 minute drive to work by myself. So there is no other stress going on and I can focus on my prayers. It is neat to think back to the things we prayed for when we were young. It shows though that we were continuing to try and develop a closer relationship through our prayer.

Praying is not all about getting what you want. When praying, you should be offering yourself to GOD and allow Him to mold you in His own way.

I was a child when I did this. Praying is about asking someone for something, either way you look at it.

If you are not religious then why do you prey to God?

I really don't have a definite time when I pray. I pray whenever I wanted to talk to God, may it be in the tough times, or in triumphant moments. It actually brings peace, at least for me. All you have to do is to have faith inside your heart, believe in the wonders of God... Because God moves in mysterious ways. You may not get the exact response that you desire, but at least you will get what you really deserve. :)
