i was just wondering how many people will say a nightly prayer before they go to sleep at night.. i will have to admit that i do but sometimes im so tired i just forget. and i really would like to make it a habit of saying a prayer before bedtime i do however almost always say a good morning prayer and thank God for giving me another wonderful day to wake up to.. how about you do you say a nightly or morning prayer ?

I do say a morning and nightly prayer. As a matter of fact, if I get up in the morning and have forgotten to say my prayer, I quickly jump into bed and say it. At night, I also have to thank God for another day. Without either prayer, I feel lost and its a part of my routine.

Prayer really does work. Just keep in mind if you give it to God, you have to trust Him...you can't take it back and start to worry. You have to believe with all of your heart that He will take care of your daughter. Wishing you the best and will say a prayer for you both. Keep your head up and trust that He has already worked it out.

i too am guilty of sometime being in a hurry or on the go and i will forget ot pray in the mornings but if i do i remember on my way to work so i turn down the radio and say my daily prayer on my way to work and it helps me to have a wonderful day and get thur it fairly easy , i dont think it matter when or where you pray as long as you do pray and stay in touch with God and let him know you need him in your life as i do.. without God and my prayer i would fail...

Most of the time I will take time to say a Prayer at night, and in the morning when I first wake up as it is always a great way to start and end the day. I do believe that there is nothing wrong with Praying and asking and believing for things. I know it is easy to forget especially when you are Super tired and god will understand. But when we Pray things happen so it best to always remember to do so.

I used to say nightly prayers, until I got too jammed with life. But, I tried to go back to the routine, especially that I already have a daughter and another one coming soon. I want them to get in to the habit, too.

Hi laken02, I do say my nightly and morning prayers. I am not the type who attends church every week but I am consistent when it comes to praying because that is how I express my faith in God. No matter how tired I am during at night or no matter how I know busy I am during the day, I always pray, it's a habit I developed since I was a child. I am not religious though.

As a child, saying prayers at night before going to sleep was a part of our family's nightly ritual. Because of doing that when I was a child, I do still say prayers every night before I go to sleep. When I was a child, there was a form prayer that we always used. Now that I am an adult, I say prayers based on those things that are on my mind, so I know that the prayer that I say at night is not the same every single night.

i always pray before i sleep- my parents trained me ever since i knew how to speak and it has become a habit ever since. i can't sleep without praying- i thank God for giving me this day, that i am still alive and that my parents are well.

It's been a habit for me to say a morning a prayer and a nightly prayer for me to be blessed the whole day, and at the end of the day a thank you prayer for all the things that happen.
