Because a person who spends some time on his knees for prayers in front of God will never find difficulty to stand on his feet throughout his life. This is my opinion; I always find time to pray once in morning and once in evening; after bath, even if I am ill.
[b]What about you?
Do you pray daily, what time and how?
Please share your views and comments.
Thanks in advance.[/b]

I Pray
In the morning when I wake
With every meal I take
When God's word I read
For anything I need
If trouble brings me pain
With every joy I gain
If something makes we weep
And just before I sleep

Hello my friend Professor2010 Ji,
Well, while my hubby was in service, it was as per his requirements and he used to take bath before me and Puja, before having b'fast.Since he retired in 1993, I will take bath and do puja, followed by him, as we have knee/joints pain, so we use stool for sitting and worshipping/Puja/ Now my maid servant has completed cleaning, and I am going for bath and then Puja, and b'fast, as we have to take medicines by at least 0900 hrs. Good day.
May God bless You and have a great time

Hello my friend Professor2010 Ji,
Well, I think we have almost same routine with few variations here and there, reason lies in our ethic synchronisation, we come from same cast and creed. Puja provides inner strength and imporoves our immune system drastically.
May God bless You and have a great time

Hello Professor, I love to pray, and I love to pray the rosary. I`ve made it a daily routine of the last 17 years, I pray early in the morning, and I pray at the evening.
I haven`t spent a day without a prayer in the last 17 years, no matter if it`s rainny or sunny, if I`m happy, or sad. Prayer is already part of my life. I can´t live without it.
In the morning I pray and involve children. And in the evenings I pray again and this time I involve my hubby.
I heard my grandaunty pray a lot. She was gone 23 years ago. But each time when I pray I recall how she prayed.
My mother doesn`t pray, and I involve her as much as I can.
I never met my grandma but I had an old rosary she used. It was of silver and is old and you can see how much she prayed with it, because it lacks of silver in some parts.
To pray is to whisper into God`s ear. Don´t you think so?
Blessings professor... dainy

I have to admit that sometimes I forget to pray. I just go through with life as is. This I would like to change.

Yes I agree with you Dad, but if possible we should go to church to adore and praise God in his temple..God said...Two or more people were there I am always at the center. I really believe in prayers and this could move mountains..If we pray sincerely, God will really answers it..

I to pray daily at least once. I mostly pray after taking bath in the morning. But I don't prey by kneeling down as I have placed god pictures and idols in my cupboard. Hence I stand and prey everyday.

I usually set aside time in the evening to pray but I pray off an on all day, sometimes more than others. I feel that God is with me all the time so I talk to Him about things as they come up. I tried making the special time in the morning, but it's difficult because as soon as I'm up and about my mind starts racing toward the day. When I try to pray then, too often I spend more time pulling my mind back to concentrate than in actual prayer.

This is really one of the best advices a person can ever receive in his/her lifetime. No one else can really help us but the Creator of all things. We do not have the strength we need to survive this world. The Word says, "in this world you will have troubles..." Truly, tomorrow has more problems of its own. Too many for us to bear by ourselves. And communicating to God really can save us from carrying loads we cannot really carry with our own might. We need His guidance all the time or we'll foolishly make decisions we'll only regret later.
Thank you for the reminder.
I won't deny that, lately, I lost the passion. I lost the thirst. Too many things can really rob us of joy to the point of having amnesia that even joy comes from HIM. Human tendency really is isolation. Guess, I've been isolating myself for some time now. May God be gracious to me.

My parents brought myself and my siblings up to be praying people and for that reason, I've always made it a habit to pray every day of my life. I can't say that my prayers have taken away problems that I've faced in my life but I really do feel like I am able to get through the hard times in my life a lot more easily because of the fact that I am a praying and faithful person.
My prayers are typically at night so that I can not only pray for those things that are weighing heavy on my mind, I can also pray in thanks for the blessings that I do have in my life.

Praying is my form of communication with God. I pray even when I'm not kneeling. I say a silent prayer even when I am on the go. And before sleeping, I talk to him and ask him to guide my loved ones, especially those who are far from me. I love praying, it gives me peace of mind. :)

I always pray during bedtimes,before and after sleeping. I thank God for all the blessings He gave me the whole day.I thank Him for giving me another day to take a breathe every morning. I pray before every meals,even if we dine out or having snacks. During hard times I double my time praying because I am afraid to resort myself to bad things just to get out of my troubles.Honestly, I pray for beggars when I see one on the street. I pray for the disables, kids,and olds who are selling around instead of pitying themselves. I am not claiming I am kind,I am not pious like those who are seen every church days but I am great believer of God that's why I believe in the power of prayers.

I pray regularly but I don't pray at any specific times of the day I pray whenever I need to.I don't always kneel down to pray because I pray to God when I'm just doing normal things.I believe he is always there for me to talk to.I ask him to help me with any problems I may have.I also ask him to take care of me and all of the people I care about. When me and all my friends go out into town to the nightclubs I always ask that we all have a good time and that everyone gets back home safely and I believe he always listens to me and helps me when I ask.

hello there..
for me, prayer is not just when you kneel and vow your heads. i used to pray minute by minute, giving thanks to God and as i praised HIM. prayer should not be uttered in times of trouble but rather speak it when you are praising and thanking HIM for the daily happenings of our lives. when we are in doubt, ask guidance for clearer option to choose. when you are happy, thanks God for making you happy. when there are problems, uplift it all to HIM and you will just see how light would it be and solutions could be found in a corner. when you go to bed, ask His angels to watch over you and protect you in harms. there are lots of things to be prayed and to communicate with God. just imagine He is just right at your side and trust HIM for whatever.
thanks for sharing this to us :) God bless

Prayer is the best weapon in every trials that we are into, we always pray anytime an anywhere. For me, I say a short prayer anytime, everytime. It is our communication to God and He always listens as long as we are sincere and our prayers are coming from our hearts.
