my parents raised me in such a way to pray before going to bed..to thank God for all the blessings and to keep me safe while asleep..do you also do this?

To be honest, not every night. I usually pray to ask for help for me or for my loved ones and I also give thanks for the help to get me through a very tough day.

You know, that is something that never really stayed with me. I will sometimes, in bed, but my mind always ends up wandering. I should work harder on remembering to pray before getting into bed. Thank you for needed inspiration.

No, I do not pray before going to bed... Usually the last thing I do before going to bed is check my emails. My parents are religious, but allowed us children to choose our own path. Out of 4, 3 of us chose to be atheists.

Yes, we were all taught to say our prayers everynight. I still do this, although now I am bigger a different prayer, although I still remember the prayer I said as a child. Have a good day!
