Regardless of what's your spiritual belief , do you intend to pray and give thanks for the whole day passed before you go to bed?

Hello Martin, I always say a little prayer,not only before sleeping but each time i had or i need to thank the Lord above for everything He done in my life. It doesn't need to be inside our bed or inside the church/chapel/temple but we can talk to HIM even in the most unexpected places.It's GOD's presence that matters most when we bow down our heads and say our thanks. Have a great day always friend

You're right my dear friend...because God is spirit, and His everywhere..but we must not forget that God has His own place where His chosen people would praise Him..and that of course as we know His church, His real church which His real chosen people praise and pray to Him..we must not forget that He never created plenty or lots of church but only one church which build by His only begotten son Jesus Christ..thanks for responding...

No. I pray when I wake up that some megalomaniac doesn't decide to start world war III.

Yes, I always pray before I sleep. It is not for thanking god for the whole day, but for making the next day a better one. Put it in another way, I bribe the god with prayers, for making the next day a better one than today.

Hi there, well i have to confess that sometimes i forget to pray. When i am praying to God i told Him everything after that I really feel happiness but sometimes i forget to pray when i am tired. Sometimes i pray but in the middle of my prayer i sleep already when i wake up in the morning i always think if i finish my praying that night. Anyway, i always want to pray thats how i can communicate to God and hope that i will not be lazy to do this thing. Keep on mylotting.

Hi friend, Do not know what people would say but I never pray before I sleep. As a matter of fact I am an atheist and do not believe in prayer. No offense please.

Yes, I make it a point to say my prayers before I retire at night. Sometimes, when I feel so tired, I just say thank you for the whole day's blessings. I think that prayer is not an obligation but an opportunity for us to talk to God.

I actually try to have communication with the Lord all day long. Just small phrases and talks to say thank you. If it was a special day I talk longer about it in the evening.

We were taught from the start to always pray before God. Wherever we are. Every night before going to sleep, the family does a devotional prayer. We need that to strengthen not only the bond between the members of the family, but most of all the faith in God. Good day!

no I dont, in a word, as I have yet to be convinced of the existance of a super being etc etc there are too many unanswered questions and you are the only person in charge of your own destiny so what you do in a day is governed by your own actions not by some god or super being

Oh I am sorry I thought everyone here prays. I respect your statement. Maybe you are still searching for something that could convince you that there is Super Being above us....Thanks anyway for responding...
