Do you pray? How often? Who/What do you pray to? Do you pray as much as you think you should? What do you pray about? Any stories about how your prayers have been answered? Or how they haven't been answered? I once prayed (I'm a Christian) that God might give us a mini-van after having our second child. A few weeks later we received a van with gold rims (we've named the van "Bling Bling") absolutely free.

yes, i pray but sometimes when im really sleepy i forget to pray. i pray to god thanking him for all the blessings and for what happened that day and ask him for guidance. prayer is the best way to communicate to god. he never chooses, he listens to all our prayers and even if he doesn't answer you in a snap he still does in time. i've prayed to god asking him for stuff and sometimes i get 'em and sometimes i don't. i guess god has reasons for giving and taking things.

The Bible says that the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away ... blessed be the name of the Lord!

Yes I pray all day long about something. I am either asking for help or I am being thankful for some wonderful thing that happened that day. I pray to Jesus/God. I believe in the power of prayer very much. I think sometimes I pray too much and I am waiting to receive a word from God asking me to shut up LOL. I have so many prayers answered. From very small things to very large things. I see miracle all the time where only God could have had a hand in them. I too am a Christian and my God is a wonderful God who listens to me and everyone who prays to him.

I seriously doubt God will ever tell you to shut up! LOL. I think that He really wants us to rely on Him on a minute by minute basis.

Yes, I pray daily many times. I am a Messianic Jewish Christian. I pray to God and Jesus. I love Him with all my heart and sole. I pray for many peoples needs daily. Sometimes for mine too. I rest in Him, and trust Him as you would a father to bless me with answered prayers.

What does that mean that you're a Messianic Jewish Christian? I'm not familiar with this?

I don't necessarily have a set standard of when I pray other than each night at bed. I do often stop and say a prayer, whether it's for someone that has asked for me to do so or for someone I think could benefit from prayer. I've also prayed for guidance during certain traumatic events and before something important takes place (a surgery, family trip, etc.) I think we can never truly pray enough, even if it's to say we love our Lord.
