I pray whenever and wherever I feel I need to.Example: If Iam driving to the store doing the speed limit and someone drives around me,blowing their horn and shaking there fist at me or using other hand gestures.Then I pray for him.If Iam at home and find that we are low on milk and Iam broke,what else is new,then I pray.When and where do you pray?Do you pray in secret or in front of other's? Iam not ashamed of praying I will pray in front of people,strangers or friends.

Anytime is a good time to pray....so I dont mind saying prayers for people anytime....I will not go to sleep without praying....and I think there is power in prayer and its the most important thing we do each day....I totaly dont mind if people are ridiculing about it because I will pray for them too.....

I never pray, because I don't think "pray" is good to us. I believe that only I can solve my own problem .God could not do anything.

2 Samuel 22:33 God is my strength and pwer: and maketh my way perfect.
Jude 1:25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever.Amen.
1 Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing.
Psalm 55:17 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and He shall here my voice.
Mark 11:25 And when ye stand praying,forgive, if ye have aught against any:that your Fatheralso which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

I pray alot, I pray every time i get in my car that the lord will protect me and get me where I am going safely. I pray when I am at home as I am disabled and am in pain all the time, I pray that The Lord will give me the strenth to go on and be able to bare the pain, and that I will be able to continue to care for myself and never be a burdon to those I love.I pray for my children & grandchildren,& all my family. and that I will have money for my food and bill and medicine.I pray every night before I go to bed. I will pray in front of people,I am not ashamed, But I do usually pray to myself.

everytime I thank God, I pray to Him and I think that is praying, thanking God for His goodness is prayer already, I pray to Him everytime, whenever I am in a line or I am waiting in a line, I say thank you Lord.
but there is still a special time of the day wherein I talk to God for an hour, and that is during at night time where I talk to God my needs and regrets and complaints and thanks.
thank you Lord.

I pray five times a day. That is my ritual prayers. Other than that I often recite versus from the Quran and it doesn't require any specific time. I can do it anytime I want, even when i am typing this reply to you. I feel praying is a part of spiritual treatment, and it heals the wound in our heart.

I do my morning and evening prayers and the prayers at the church services. I also do my mini prayers, the one which I ask God for help for a specific problem, and the thank you ones in which I find something unexpected, or it stopped raining, or I got an unexpected blessing anytime. I saw grace at meals, even if I am standing up and when I am out, so it could be that I am praying a lot, but I usually just bow my head, I do not make a show of praying.

hmm,i don't have the definition of pray,and i don't pray.
when will you feel you need to pray?when you or your friends are in difficulties,hard time? i guess this is a culture,or maybe a religion.i don't pray,but sometimes i like to say,i wish i could...,maybe that's another kind of pray.

I tend to pray at all different times. As I awake, as I go to sleep. In the car while I am listening to christian music. I pray when someone ask for prayer here in My Lot. I pray for the troops at 9 pm EST. Prayer is a very powerful thing. Without it I don't know where I would be.

I agree prayer is powerful! I too pray when ever it is needed and at night when I get up.Usually in the morning,I don't pray,but i thank God for letting me wake up as well as my kids and for the weather.If it's good.If it is not good for me that day,then I do pray that He changes it.

praying does not need to be you're in a special place, or circumstances, just about anywhere or anytime, when i feel like praying, i do,... not just because you are in need but because you just receive a blessing...i do thank God for everything.. good or bad!

Time is not the factor. It is not necessary to show and pray. Silent prayers are always better answered.It is the belief that counts and not anything else.
thanks,

Silent prayers are fine because God hears you anyway.God knows everything that is said or done.

I pray in the morning and pretty much through out the day.I just give him thanks for everything he has done for me.I also ask for things i am in need of.Prayer is the answer to everything and i love my heavenly Father.I pray in private and if i was to pray around others i am not ashamed to be praying.

I pray ALOT. I pray wherever I am. I dont mean i get down on my knees in the middle of the store and pray, but i do pray alot. I pray everytime i get into the car that God will get me there and home safely. I pray if i wake up in the middle of the night and cant go back to sleep. Sometimes i think i wake up like that for a reason, because God wants me to pray. I think i will take what you do when someone is rude to you on the road and pray for them instead of giving them the finger, which i do!

I pray mostly before I go to bed. I don't pray as often as I should when I eat food. Sometimes I do go to a quiet area and pray alone about things happening in my life.

I do always pray everywhere even just a single word or phrase.
Specially when I'm worried and If I feel annoyed of something or people I don't like to see or meet.
I'll just pray that give me strenght whenever and what ever I do.
