Hi friends, this things pop up in my mind and make me wonder
I notice that most part of a pray is a requesting words from us,which show our dependence with God
But do you pray everyday? or do you pray only when you need something from God? in what event do you usually pray?

I really don't pray everyday but i do pray from time to time whenever i feel like praying. I don't pray everyday just for the sake because i don't want to be reciting words which i don't mean. So i pray whenever i feel like i want to talk to God to bless me or the people i love. I really don't pray much to ask for something for myself but i pray more for the sake of everybody.

It's really good if you are praying for other people, you will become God attention if most of your pray is for other people, may Him fullfil your daily needs, just keep praying

I do believe that prayer plays a vital role on the life of each of us. It is a stairway to heaven. We can find peace and happiness if we will just always include it in our lives.It is in prayer that we are guided and we always have the connection with God.
I usually start my morning with a prayer. I had proven that it is so good to find yourself talking with God after you wake up. I thank Him for giving me another chance to live. I also ask Him to guide me on whatever I will think, do, or say within the day.I believe that once you surrender all things to God, He will direct your plans and help you to succeed. He will surely go with you all the day and protect you from any harm.
I find God as my best friend. It is Him who I always consult.Through prayers, I share with Him all the joys I had during the day, the victories, failures, sadness or fears. Whatever is it, I say all those things to Him. I can say that I pray everyday. Not just when I need a help from Him but also I pray to give thanks and praises.

Dear God, Please place Your protection over myself and ..... and .... and.... (my childrens names)in the name of Jesus I thank you for this. Amen I also then say the Lord's Prayer and then I will have a general chat about stuff that has been happening, I thank for all His blessings bestowed upon me and I also ask for healing to be sent to people of my prayer list and once again thank.

Hey maxilimian! I'd like to say that I pray everyday, but
honestly I pretty much only pray when I need something or
when I'm worried about something or someone which I know is
not the right thing to do. But, then again is there a right
thing to do when it comes to God or prayer? I don't really
know if there is a correct answer to that. I believe in God,
but I don't always feel that my prayers are even heard or
answered sometimes. I know that I do talk to God, but of
course there really isn't any way to get an answer, at least
not a definite one anyway! But, it doesn't stop me from
praying anyway.

It's just fine, i'm doing it also, but i think in fact just like other people also from what i learn, usually there is 3 answers from God with our prayer, Yes, No, or Not Yet. Yes it means that God support you for your prayer, No it means that He will give you another things which is more good to you, Not Yet means He is waiting to approve your prayer in the right time, so which one that you feel?
Just keep praying is good for us, there's a hope in the pray

Hi there, it's good to see there's still lot of people who keeps praying but usually i found that a pray for other people is often to be approved by Him rather than ourselve maybe if we can do something for other people He will help us without our demanding
Keep pray

Yes,i pray everyday.Prayer is not only asking for something from God but it is also one way of communicating to our God almighty.That is very important.As human,we are dependent to God coz without Him,we can do nothing.God created us so in return,we must praise God also.Based on my experience,i pray longer especially if i have many prayer requests to God.A prayer is one way of submitting everything to God and it can also relaxes our mind and soul.Have a nice day!

Is it okay to have a long pray? i read once in a bible or sharing discussion, that we do not need to pray in a long time, because He is already know what we need actually, so there will be just fine if we pray in a enough time
Have a nice pray

maxilimian...I very seldom pray for something...ask for something! Each night, whilst drifting off to sleep, I thank my Lord, for everything that I have! I thank him for making my day as good as it was, I thank him for my health, my wealth in friends & family, my great surroundings! Amen!

I am sorry to say that I do not pray everyday. But I do pray often. I pray for the world, and for the people in it. I also like to say thanks more than to pray as I know we have free will and the world is ours to make of it as we will. So though I don't pray every day, I do take time to praise.

It's one habit that people will come to God if there's only a necessary, but it would be great if we come to Him everyday in every event, because we sometimes not realized even in the regular activity, He keeps supporting us, and maybe He warn us if we face a problem
