Do you pray regularly?

Someone is watching you from above. - There is a supernatural being who is watching you from above.He is known by different names.Some call him God others Allah but all these terms denote the one and the same person.

I used to pray whenever I landed in some kind of trouble,when everything was fine then I seldom remembered God.However,later on I realised that there is no harm in praying for a few minutes every day..we do a whole lot of things in 24 hours which doesn't have any significance..if we devote a small portion to praying then what's the harm?However,I can't say that I am a theist but I really do believe in the power and strength of the Almighty.What about you?

yes. oftentimes, we need to have something to hold on... someone to talk to... someone to share our innermost thoughts.

I do pray daily, i feel its like talking to a friend. I will pour out everything in front of the god and i will say thanks to the lord for whatever good things happen to me, if something happen to me against for that also i say, i think this is your planning for me, thanks lord. I had a child after 15 years of my marriage so i think this is his planning, So that i can settle down.

Indeed friend whatever happens in our life the Almighty plays a role in it..however we do have a tendency of cursing Him when we make silly mistakes..now you can't expect God to rectify your foolishness we ought to do something on our own too.He gave us everything needed to lead a normal life and we should thank him for that.

I usually pray before I go to sleep at night and multiple times throughout the day. I know that I should pray more, but I just don't.

Hi friend you don't need to pray more I believe..if you cab pray only once with proper attention in 24 hrs. I think God will listen to your prayers..at the same time praying multiple times just for the sake of praying won't help,isn't it?

Yes, you have a point, we don't HAVE to pray more for God to "think" better of us. I just think that I should WANT to pray more as I draw closer to God. You know? :)

hi naxous, I agree with you~ Praying is powerful and taking a few minutes everyday wont do any harm. I do pray everytime I wake up in the morning, thanking him for making me live a brand new day. I pray before meals thanking him for the food and blessings that he had provided me and my family. Also when I'm going to sleep, I thank him for the wonderful day, hoping for a brand new day when I wake up and of course pray for the ones I love. Happy mylotting naxous!

I grew up in a very religious family. Back when I was still living with my parents we also pray the rosary everyday. I even get to memorize the litany Maybe because of how I was raised and the great influence of my parents, I became close to God. Ever since I was a child, my mom told me that if I need someone to talk to and there's no one around talk to God, and also she taught me to always say grace and thanks to him.

Let me admit that you have a very good habit and I hope that some day I will be able to duplicate your habit.However,what I will like to know is do you do this thing always or you developed it at some later stage in life?

I have come to believe that we need to be in the attitude of gratitude for our very existence on earth and what better way than to praise Him as many number of times as we can. Communication with God which includes worshiping Him, praising him, thanking him and ofcourse praying for our needs is an on going exercise in my life.

Actually I pray before I go to work, go to somewhere far away like travel to different region/country, and before I sleep. I also pray when I need God's help. Pray is really good for our spiritual. It can help us more comfortable. I pray everyday don't matter where.

Praying means remembering God..so from that point of view you pray regularly as you stated that whenever you move out of your house there's a temple where you bow down..so deep inside even you have a huge amount of faith in God,isn't it?

Hi Naxous I dont pray regularly, but sometimes I pray. I think it might is culture`s difference. My family and me are not pray everyday, but sometimes we go to temple to pary. I dont know about another people, they might pray regularly, but I dont. I think praying is very good thing. Have a nice day.

Yes i do pray daily in some form of prayer to the GOD, which has created the world. So wonderful world in which we all are living. I pray daily in the morning after taking my bath for a couple of minutes. It gives an eternal strength to me.i am filled with confidence.everything surrounding me starts looking good n charming. It increases the positivity in my life. so i advocate strongly that one should daily remember the Almighty

Hi friend yeah it's true that praying has certain benefits but don't you think that it is almost impossible to advocate praying..the belief must come from inside the individual otherwise there is no way we can make him pray and we shouldn't do that too.

Prayer and worshipping has a significant role in my life, since last two year i am a follower of spirtual guruji sh brahamrishi kumarswamiji and worshipping special beej mantras given by him on regular basis, sometimes twice in a day and sometimes once in a day. It is told that chanting of mantras impacts a lot our life. Pl give a look to his website http://www.cosmicgrace.org/

Thanks friend for your response.I respect your devotion..but do you really believe that we need a spiritual guru to pray to God..or rather is it essential to have a medium to reach the Almighty?

i do pray regularly, every night. Its nice that at the end of the day,you could talk to God and thank Him for everything. At times, I can't do it because sometimes I get asleep, I have nightmares really. I really observed it, i get nightmares if i forgot to pray. Maybe it's God's reminder to me that I should pray so that He could protect me from evil.

You seem to have a good connection with God.You must be good at heart and that's why you find yourself near to God.This is not experienced by all my dear friend.Don't lose it and try to be regular with your prayers as it will help you to get rid of your nightmares.
