How often do you pray? Do you pray with your children? With your spouse? Before meals? Only when you are scared or need guidance? Thanks for reading and responding.

I dont pray in the sense that I'm assuming you are talking about. I meditate which in a way is a form of personal prayer I suppose...How often? Actually quite frequently..do I do it with my kids or husband? No not at all...

I do not pray with my children or anyone else, but I pray to myself. When something good has happened, I give thanks. When bad things have happened I pray to make them go away or to send some joy as well and things like that.

there is no time frame in my prayer but i always do pray when im in a public utility vehicles i pray,before eating,before going to bed,when i wake up,when im not doing anything,when i have problems,when im happy i also pray...we should always pray and make it a habit for constant communication with God...and not to just pray because you need something to him...do you think God will be happy with that?of course not so better be more prayerful from now on...you dont need to kneel just to pray just close your eyes and tal to God in your mind its as simple as that...

I pray a lot. All the time. God always hear us. I always ask God for help, mercy, forgiveness, healing, and all other stuff needed in my lifetime. HE always live in our hearts as we ask HIM. As we admit and confess our sins honestly, HE will be with us. Two years ago I have been fully initiated into the Catholic Church. I always have faith in Jesus, the Son of God. I always need guidance and strength from HIM.

Most of the time i pray (talk to god) when i am alone. but on some days, the whole family with the children say our prayers and then have our dinner. at that time i ask my children to read the holy book (the word of God) and I explain some facts to them. Making them ethical, moral and god fearing children of the modern world.

Hi lola, I pray everyday. I pray before I eat a meal. I pray when I get up every morning. I pray during the day. I read the Bible and get on my knees and pray before I go to bed at night. The evening is my time alone with God. It is a very special time! It is important to pray and to listen to God so that we keep our relationship with Him strong. God bless you!

When I was a little kid I used to say my prayers with my mom at bedtime but I never really got the whole jist of what it meant. As I got older I found that for a while I prayed when I was in a jam and really needed something. Now I think I have a better understanding of what praying really means. I have gone through some really bad stuff in the last few years and I have started to pray a lot. Not just for myself but for others as well. I pray for my friends and family that are struggling with things and I also still pray for myself for patience, understanding and strength and to be completely honest it really does bring me some peace at times when I'm in complete turmoil.

I try to pray daily but I don't always remember or make the time. I normally pray alone as there are no others in the house who believe as I do. Some days I pray more than once a day though - particularly when there are a lot of bad things going on around me and I need guidance. I do try to pray daily though just to thank God for all He has given me and done for me.
