Ive always been taught by my parents to thank the almighty for whatever he has given in life. As a part of my daily routine i get up and the first thing i do before opening my eyes is join my hands and pray to god to keep me my loved happy I thank him for the life he has given me and also apologise for things i might have done wrong intentionally or unintentionally I just wish for a life free of troubles and gods blessings Do You people do the same?? Do you thank god too??? DO you pray for the welfare of your loved ones??

I do. It is a good practice to turn to God in prayer at the very start of the day. We usually turn to the first thing we love in the morning whether it is our cellphone, our spouse, our baby, or even the clock. Seek first God's kingdom and His righteousness and may Christ be our first love every morning.

I see there are a lot of religious based threads on myLot today. What's with the praying ? Why do you pray ? You are asking an imaginary thing so that you may win the lottery or that your daddy to get better or escape cancer or aids and other stuff like that. Do any of your prayers come true ? I have the answer for this one. None. Am I right or wrong ? I am not a satanist or anything ... but I just ignore religious stuff as they don't help me at all

I ignore "religious stuff" too. Religion did me no good whatever. However, since becoming a Christ 48 years ago, at the age of 22, I have known the REALITY of being a child of a living, loving, heavenly Father who undertakes for me and guides me continually. Do my prayers come true? Too right! What right have you to say they don't? Evidently you don't have a personal experience with the living God. I do and I KNOW what He does for me.

well its just a difference of opinions but i guess they do come true ive prayed for lots of things and sometime or later they have come true if u have faith in your prayers if u have faith in the god if you strongly believe that u have prayed with true heart and that whatever you are praying for is welfare it comes true you ought to have belief for that

I try and pray every morning. I thank god for letting me and my family have a safe night sleep, I pray that me and my family have a good day and are kept safe and sound whereever we go. I thankhim for all he has done. Prayer life is very important in my life.

I think this is a great idea. I pray anytime I need to, sometimes just to thank God. You must have had good parents.

My mother never failed to teach us to pray before going to bed and specially in the morning when we woke up. But the best thing that I learn from my mother is that we must pray not for ourselves but to pray for other peoples' welfare. How about that?

But what does admitting the control of nature DO for you?

no, i seldom communicate with god for whatever reasons. please dont take me personally, but you see i live in India and am a Hindu by faith. every morning countless Hindu families have this prayer (puja) session where the entire family sits and prays together. then they all go out to cheat, misbehave, rob, lie and make a fast buck by tricking other gullible people. you see, no matter how much you pray, nobody is up there to force you to become a better person. its meaningless to ask for forgiveness when you know you'd do the same thing tomorrow again (again, PLEASE DONT TAKE ME PERSONALLY, THIS IS MY GENERAL OPINION). i believe all religion should guide you to become a better human being and for that you dont need to pray everyday. you can of course meditate to calm your mind, and praying and meditation are not the same.

I am from India too ( do not consider myself a Hindu though). I realised the importance of a prayer few years back. Its just a way to connect to G-d. Asking for forgiveness is again like going back to Him. But this repentece and asking for forgiveness has to be true, and sincere. It brings a better man out of you.

Most of the people of this world are too busy that they didn't got time fror their own families.They have only one intension to make as money as they could to fulfil their necessaries and to survive.Among them i'm the one also,i didn't pray to god as you do when wake up in the morning but i do when i get some troubel in mine life and mine beloving and just pray to god to show me way to solve that problem and to make me free out of that and to them most of the people does that as i do in mine life.Also thanks to god at mine happy time of mine life nad mine beloving but not regularly.

i admit it's not as often that i pray everytime i wake up in the morning, but i do pray every night thanking Him for the day that had been, and asking for his guidance the next day. Not only that, I'm trying to be as grateful to Him as possible by saying thanks, even with the smallest blessing that I get everyday. It's the simplest way I know that I can bring back the blessings that I get from God.

God is something above all and everything to me , i do make it a point to pray in the morning and at the night , i have a special regimen for this , without praying feel not so good about life and why not , some thing that gives you everything , every breath we take is due to hum , i think we can take out one hour from our busy schedules for the almighty , to thank him , to remember him ,

The first thing i do when i wake up in the morning is praying. I have learned the secret of putting God before anything that i do. The morning prayer is so powerful coz your mind is so fresh.

I have learnt and cultivated in last two years, to pray to God. I thank G-d in the morning as I get up, saying " Thanks for returning back my soul to me, The soul which you have invested in me is pure". Also, while going to sleep in the night, I pray to G-d, thanking Him for the day, and also asking His forgiveness for any mistakes committed
