I am a believer and I put trust in the power of prayer. I pray at night and during the day, I say a silent prayer. Though, I don't visit the church on a daily basis and I'm not a very religious person. Everyday, I put my faith in God. I'm just wondering why there's a word "sorry" in your discussion. There's just nothing wrong with asking questions regarding spirituality.

"sorry" is not for everyone...i just felt like adding it cos u really donot know if some of the ppl out here have another opinion about the topic...and then there are few ppl left who r truly spiritual.. ( most are religios but not spiritual)

RELIGION is man-made. What ever may be one's religion, all religion speak of God's existance. A communist does not believe in God, but they believe that there is a super-human being who created the earth and all that is in it. Whom do you think this super human being can be??? GOD - Thats what every Religion believes in. Going to a spiritual place to pray is not necessary. But praying to God is. When we pray in faith, we feel at ease, have peace of mind, and things work out. I pray twice a day, though most of the time in a disturbed mind, even thin my wishes had been granted many a times. I attend to most of the Sunday services in church, and other services on week days whenever possible. PRAYING is necessary for all human being. We need someone whom we can trust, talk to and pour out our troubles, and be in peace of mind and light in heart.

I agree with you..RELIGION is man made... it is our inner though and faith that binds us to the supreme power and not religion.

prayers are important in one's day to day to life.. prayer is just not asking and asking for more and more.. but it should be a one to one conversation - it should be like as though you are talking to one of your friend - In your prayers you should begin by first thanking Him for the day that has started so well and for many blessings that you have received. I feel prayer is very important and one should make it a habit to start their day by saying their prayers..

Yes,I used to pray god regularly.My mind is set up to a fact that once i pray regularly,i can acheive every thing iam in need off.So,it doesnt means that only by praying i acheive thigs,I will work for that.The thing is I will start working for that after Doing prayer....There is no need to go to temple regularly.Just think of god in your mind before u start any work,then it will be a great support for you...So, Try it, You will surely feel it

I am far from pauing everyday, I guess its not really in my family's belief. My parents still go to church but very occasionnaly. As for me, I can count it on the fingers of one hand the times I actually go to church..Its sad because I find it very conforting there and peacefull. I guess I never take the time to go even though I could once in a while ..as for praying, I don't pray every day but in stressfull moments of like I really like to know I am not alone in this world..I like to pray to reassure myself when I am scared or really stressed out. Although I don't pray much I still believe in God... I find its good for the soul to believe in somehing as strong as a god ..it could truely save your life.

Yes I pray everyday, i cannot do without praying it is like my source of existence without it I would not even exist, i need to pray everyday not only once a day but many times depending upon my circumstances, I feel nice that I can share all I want with my Lord and savior Jesus Christ he is never to busy to hear my prayers and he answers me in wonderful ways.

i don't visit to temples everyday. but i do pray daily at my home itself. i find praying to God or staying in touch with him this way is the best way to remain hopeful, spiritual, and to handle stress and anxiety in the testing times. i never forget to thank God if he's fulfilled my prayers.

Ah i beleive in FORCE than believing in GOD. Either way it is the same. I believe that there is some FORCE which boosts your confidence levels from time to time. When you are working, it all depends on how efficiently you work and really doesn't depend on some external force. But when it comes to being lucky everyone believes that they are lucky because they believe in GOD. There were times when i think of great prophets and their princples to boost my confidence and lift my spirits up.

Even i feel a lot about a SUPER POWER (A force as u say...) Its is never necessary to believe in god but yeah just a belief of some1 existing above u(a force or a supreme power) should help one to do gud things in life and gain confidence in times of probs...

I do believe in the power of prayer and I know that tests and studies have been done where people in hospital had prayers said for them and some in hospital didn't, they knew they were part of a study but didn't know if they were in the group that was being prayed for or not and it turned out that the group being prayed for recovered faster and did better than the group that didn't recieve prayers. It has also been shown that people who have beliefs in the spirit and life after this physical life recover from bereavments quicker and find the grieving process easier to bear then did people with no beliefs other than this life is all there is.

Being a normal human i shall say, i don't pray quite often, and it's totally wrong in my religion. MY faith in God deteriorates whenever i face problems, and that is very wrong. I always blame stuff on Him, whereas i know that He did this for our own good, for He knows best. After all, He created us :). I'm trying to discipline myself to pray as often, and each time i pray, it's a serene feeling. The feel of facing your Creator, of telling Him all your problems, of asking Him for forgiveness, and asking Him for a better life. Being single, He's the One i turn to :).

hhey mayank, i definetly donot intend to hurt you..but just as a free advice.. WE donot and shouldnot neeed reason to not LOVE god..it is because of him, we are here and if you donot believe this, atleast the fact that there is nature around you which balances all forces should make you believe in a supreme power...and faith my frnds..only faith will help yo get to god!!

Well that weakening in your bond with your father could be the very reason you were so easily made a captive. Jesus came to set you free, just reach out your hands.

Yes, I do. But sometimes in our busyness, we tend to forget even to say I love you or goodnight to our Father. That, to me are simple prayers. Praying is commmuning with the Almighty. You don't have to be profound or eloquent in praying, it has to come from your heart. I suggest that you also attend church other than praying. You also have to engage in worship and know more about God's word if you are really willing to receive Him wholeheartedly. Why not pray about it =) God bless!
