I think we can pray and seek the blessings from God from any where! God is omnipresent and he/she blesses the devotees every where and everything. Inspite of all I see many people go to Church to pray the God! Do you believe that we should go to Church to Pray the Almighty? Are you regular visitor of Chrch ? Do you attend the Prayers at Church every Sunday without fail? Please respond! Thanks!

a good ? as i am a muslim of course i dont go to a church but i make a point to go to a mosque as possible for the point u make my believe is man does not poses the spirituality to make contact with the divine so he needs places of worship to attain spirituality

Even when your not in church you can still pray and talk to God about your problems in life. For my family, if we are not busy we usually find a time to go to church even not on Sundays. Sometimes we just go there and pray or attend mass. For your question if i believe that we should go to church to pray to God is not necessary. If your too busy in work or in school, God will understand if you will once in a while pause and pray to Him anywhere or anytime.

I pray every day. I feel having a one on one relationship with God is very important. I have not yet found a church I feel like is home, but hopefully one day I will. Right now I keep my faith and strength in my relationship with God and know that he is everywhere.

Yes we can pray and talk to God anywhere. I attend mass on Sundays to listen to the Word of God, because unfortunately I don't find time to read the Bible. It's a dose of wisdom that I need.

i agree with you that we can pray anywhere. it is not necessary that you should have a place where u can only pray. i do pray always, but that was a long time ago, now i do it rarely. maybe i am really an irresponsible Christian. i am really having a difficulty practicing ways to reach and keep in touch with God but i know someday i can renew it.

Yep, I do go to church regularly, although I pray a lot every day even when I'm not in church. I'm a missionary so just about everything I do has to do with God, as a matter of fact I preached the sermon in church this morning. I agree with you that God is omnipresent and blesses His followers in everything that they do. I don't call going to church "Attending Prayers" however, I don't go to church to pray, I go to worship Jesus with other Christians. Prayer happens everywhere!

Yes we can pray to God anytime and anywhere. But the church is built for people who want to have a solemn place to stay and have communication with God. As there are schools built to have a formal education for people, there are also church or mosque for people to have a solemn place to communicate with their God or Allah. I usually go to church on sundays and holiday of obligation but sometimes I fail to attend on sunday due to some reasons.

I agree. I am not religious, but if I were, I would see no problem in worshipping anywhere! There is no need for church except to socialize and give the church money. The way I see it is if God is supposed to be so caring about all people, rich and poor, why doesn't he encourage more people to worship at home....think about it...the millions of dollars it costs to keep a physical church going could go to the poor and help people who are srtuggling....you would think that god would be all for this, but instead, he prefers people to build expensive churches and worship in them...

The bible says that our body is a temple of the Holy Spirit..we should pray whenever and anywhere. However..the bible also says we should unite because the Lord uses His pastors to talk topeople who believe Him. Also.. in the church learned things alone would be more difficult. Furthermore.. Jesus said that where more than one person together talking Him..He will be present. So it is good to go to church..well feed our faith. Faith is like a fire..if not to care it watched. Knowledge is given to us when looking for more ..and when we dont looking for..the little knowledge that we have..will be drawn. If you find difficult to go to church.. think .._Who is more profit if you stay away from God?? Who do not want that You to be in the God'ways is happy when you decide not go to church. Think about it.

Yes I go to church every Sunday. What's important is the feeling and that you believe that someone is out there listening and all-powerful - faith would make your prayer stronger. I pray anytime and anywhere because I believe that He is there.

More or less, only when I remember to do that or when I don't have anything else to do. However, I tend to go sometimes in working days.
