I make it a point that I always pray... although sometimes when busy, I tend to forget praying. In what circumstances do you pray?

I think the 5 prayers divided into 5 times in the day make one remember God all day long and keeps him protected and supported. When you always remember that God is protecting you, he will always halp you and protect you! this also keeps one far from making anything bad to others as he will remember he was just praying or he will be praying within some hours. The time division all day long keeps on remembering us to keep the faith and avoid getting into vice

I always gave my longest prayer night time before sleeping. During day time, I simply express some few good words to thank God for whatever is in front of me. I pray while driving my car for safety. I pray when I was on my way to meet my customers. There's simply no end in praying. Its a privilege given to us freely. Why not use the most of it.

I catch myself praying off and on through out the day. I don't really have a set time but should get back to that. I used take time to read the bible before I went to bed and I actually miss doing that. I think my prayers vary because of the time I do pray. It may be as little as thanking God for getting me through a moment or asking him to get me through the day.

Every day. I usually pray before going to sleep and throughout the day I also pray--well, not exactly praying but more of talking to God informally. I try to build a friendship with Him inside my head, kinda like the way someone would talk to their best friend. It keeps me grounded and it helps me go through the day.

I lived in a home run by nuns for a couple of years and learned a lot of things about praying. There are two types of prayer, vocal and mental. Vocal are the traditional prayers that we are taught at home or school. It also includes the free-flowing prayers that we say. Mental prayers, on the other hand, do not consist of words but are considered to be of a higher level. This is achieved by reflecting and meditating on the presence of God. Thus, even our daily activities can be a form of prayer if they are done for His glory. I also keep in mind the four basic reasons for prayer. These are (1) to praise God, (2) to give thanks, (3) to ask for forgiveness and (4) to ask for help.

I pray every day upon awakening asking for my Higher Powers help to keep me sober another day. Then at night I pray thanking my Higher Power for keeping me sober. I pray often asking for help/guidance in my daily living also. Thanks also. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

The best time to pray is on the hours just before dawn, between 3 to 5 am. So I try to wake up at those times to pray.

I pray when I wake up and before going to sleep. ALWAYS. But then again, if I have problems or something good happens within the day, I pray and I talk to Him. It feels good. I always thank Him and ask for forgiveness if I feel I passed on something good or if I've done something wrong.

I pray everyday when I wake up and other random times throughout the day. I give thanks all day long too!! I don't believe anyone needs a reason to talk to God, he is always listening and it could take you 30 seconds out of the 24 hrs we have everyday to live!!

I always force myself to pray every night although sometimes if i felt so tired,i didn't pray:(.After that, i often felt guilty why i didn't pray yesterday..Try to always remember that God had already given me life,He is my guide and always be my Truth..Based on those thinking,now, eventhough i feel so tired,i try to pray and have communication with Him,such as before i eat,study,going somewhere,pray for His protection..

I dont really count but I could really say that I pray a lot - before I eat, before I go to sleep, before I travel and when I think I need God's help, I pray. I believe praying is the most effective way of finding relief because if you pray, you have the greatest security - the security that God offers. If a prayer is sincere, you are sure that you'll be heard. I also believe praying is the best way to tell God everything - how thankful you are about your life, your success, even every breath that you take.
