Do you pray to God. How frequently? Many of us do pray to God atleast once in a day.
What do you pray for?
Let me start with myself:
I pray to God to give me strength and better sense to do the right things. I do not pray to God to keep me away from problems but I pray to God to give me strength to face all those problems boldly. I feel that problems are part of life and everyone must accept this fact. But with the help of God (the strength ) we can overcome all the problems.
What do you Pray for?

Okay. I am also a Brahmin. So I know all about this community.
What do you pray for? Not by words, what is in your mind? What do you ask for? Our religion says that God is 'param krupalu parmatma'. He gives us everything. I believe in this philosophy. So I ask you again :What do you ask for?

I am sorry friend if I have hurt you.
In fact right in the begining only asked this question to the members so this is not the question to you only.
Secondly the idea behind asking this question is to understand different peoples' views about the Prayers. Again I am sorry if I have hurt you by asking a personal question.

I am a chritian and pray every day and through out the day. I pray for my family and any one that I know that is having any kind of problems, such as with illness finance or marrage .I pay for God's help with aome of my thoughts, relationships. Jesus said You don't recieve because you don't ask or you ask wrongly but we are to ask for everything so we know that what we need is coming from him. I also give God thanks for every thing that I have and his keeping my family safe.

I usually say a pray each night I go to sleep. But I don't pray for myself, but for my family and for my friends.
I used to pray for myself, not anymore. And when I do it I don't ask for nothing... just forgiveness. :|

Yeh, that is a good philosophy of not asking anything from God. I know one sect called Pushti Marg. I have heard the scholars of this sect saying like this only. They say God knows everything and so do not ask for anything, whatever is required and due to you he will give you withou asking if you have true devotion. Great thing to be followed. You have a good practice of asking just for forgiveness..

Yes, We all do pray specially for true christian..
Christians frequently pray, we pray not only ask forgiveness for our sins, not only asking favor for what we wantm, we pray not only asking for help, we pray not only for ourselve, but we pray for salvation to all people pn earth and we pray to praise GOD (Jesus Christ) Our personal savior.
