There are times that i forgot to pray and sometimes i am not that fervent with my prayers. For the past few weeks, i wasn't able to hear mass on Sundays and i was just so lazy. I am really sorry. Now, i am trying to making it up but the truth is i am asking something from him or has a prayer request. Why is it like that? I am sometimes guilty of praying or talking to him only when i need something or when i am in trouble.

Hi ritchel! I do pray each day and talk to Him all of my heart's desires, complaints and at the end of it all I ask forgiveness and thank Him too for loving and helping me each day. I guess, I don't ran out of things to ask him but I guess, it is just like a child talking to her parents of what she wants and what hurts her or what makes her happy. I think that is how God is for me, like a Father! so, i think he will always love to hear whatever we need to say. Take care and God bless!

yes, i obsolutely pray everyday. before&after sleeping, before&after eating, before going to a certain place, etc. the content of my prayer would always be "Thank you for blah blah blah.". i don't just pray to Him whenever i ask or need something. but i often ask for guidance and assistance, and after asking i'd thank Him for all the blessings that He unceasingly shower upon me and my family. believe me, He'll give you anyhting that you desire but you should also prove to Him that you really deserve it and if it's for your own goodness or for other people's sake.

Oh yes,I pray everyday. But, I do not call it praying. I simply have a conversation with my Creator and the Maker of His world. He listens to all my problems and triumphs.

You don't have to feel shigh in front of god.He is the only person who can help you always.Think positive when you ask him anything.Don't have negative notion in your mind and ask for help from him.It is a sin if you do that.You don't have to be in a mass to pray.Whenever you are free you can repeat the prayer along with your wishes.This is a better way to get the most out of your prayer.

I do my best to pray everyday. Sometimes I find myself asking for too much so I cut back asking for myself and ask for other family members or even some sorry souls I see in my day. I find that sometimes saying a prayer for a stranger gives me an uplifting feeling. I hope I've helped these people by saying a blessing for them. I try to be thankful and let God know about it.

Not a day passes that I don't pray but the nature of my spirituality is that "God" is everywhere, in all living realities around us. I believe that "God" does hear the faithful no matter where they pray from. The "God" of my understanding is benevolent and understands our humanness. Our relationship with our creator is a personal and enduring one, we do not walk alone so long as we believe.

I think a lot of people have a tendency to do that. I know that I sometimes do it myself. God understands that we don't always think of Him/Her the way we should but God is always there and waiting for us to remember.
