Hey Mylotters,
Do you say your prayers before going to sleep?do you have a particular prayer ...formal prayers..prayers that you memorized or that you read from the book.
Every night i do say thanks for the day that has passed..its not a prayer its like a talk that i am having with my friend ...like i tell HIM what going in on my life..anyways h e knows it..I also manage to ask him for a few favours..but sometimes when i am too exhausted i just thank him and go to sleep...I know he is not going to get angry if i missed the prayers...

Hahaha...Sorry for laughing, but your topic seems rather ironic coming from someone with a nick like The Devil...But yes I try and remember to say my prayers before I sleep, but I also pray during the day, whenever I feel like it. What I pray about varies, in all things I try and thank Him and Praise Him, even when times are bad, because God is good ALL the time! Not just when we need Him or when times are good. It's WE who are not good all the time.

I always pray before I go to sleep. It's more like talking to the Lord, thanking him for the day and the many blessings he's given us. I always pray for the President and the country. I pray for my children, grandchildren,and my Mother. I pray a hedge of protection around them all. Sometimes I wake up, realizing I fell asleep while praying. But, during the day, I usually am thanking him anyway or praising him. Prayer should be a continual thing, not just something said at bed time or waking up. The line to Jesus should be open constantly.

I don't consider my day over till i pray and only then do i feel sleepy.I do pray before sleeping.I say a prayer thanking Him for all the blessings and finish it with the 'Our Father'.I would just hate to be one of those people who only pray when they need something from God or are in some kind of trouble.So i make it a point to keep in touch with Him and just speak my mind and place all my plans before him,with the hope that He'll guide me.

Yes. I talk to God on the things that happened to me during the day, ask for His forgiveness, and wish for things that I want. I don't write these things in a paper or memorize it. I just talk to Him like I'm talking to another person.

I try to talk to HIM whenever the moment arises. To thank him ,ask him for strenght, questions, etc... Sometimes that happens to be before sleep but usually I do it whenever I feel the need or want.

I'm Catholic but I don't pray anymore. I figured that God will know what's in my heart without me needing to articulate my thoughts in a prayer. Anyway, the reason why I don't pray anymore is because long ago, I felt that my prayers weren't being answered. Even though it's supposed to be a conversation between me and God, I feel like I don't know him so much so there's nothing to say. I pray fro the same things every day until I just stopped praying...

Yes, I don't go to bed without praying to God to thank him for all his guidance, for all the blessings, for all the blessings and a lot more. I don't utter memorized prayers because I believe prayers must come from the heart.

Not as much as I should. I rarely every do. I am more of a midday person. I wish i thought about it all the time. Maybe before bed that should be when i do it.

Yes I pray every night before I go to sleep. Its good for our mind to get relaxed before going to sleep to get better sleep which soothes our mind all the night and makes our next day good. Its better to hear some music at low volume while you were sleeping to get a pleasant sleep and you can set a sleep time to your music machine for about 20 minutes so that it gets turned off after you sleep.

I sometimes wonder if I should pray before I go to sleep. I'm not actually religious, I don't know what I want to believe in when it comes to religion, but I know that prayer has been proven to work. MY only question though would be whether or not a person's prayers that isn't religious would have the same power as a person who is.

Yes I do. I alwasy talk to God in prayer before going to bed, thanking him for the blessings he has for me during the day, his protection and love for me. I talk to him like a friend sharing to him all my burdens and problems. Also when I wake up in the morning, The first thing I do is to give thanks to him for the good night's rest and submitting myself for another day of labor to Him. It is always good to talk to the Lord in prayer every day.
