Whenever I feel like I need to, whether there's something wrong that I need someone to guide me through or when I'm extremly thankful... And then as always, at night before going to bed.

Quite constantly, actually. When I was younger I started "praying without ceasing" and used to walk around mumbling prayers -- it drove people NUTS! Now I pray quite frequently without even noticing it.

I thank God for what I have but I know that there are people out there who are alot worse off than me. I try to keep my prayers short because I feel like others peoples problems are bigger than mine. I know its something I need to work because God has time for all of us but I just feel need for worldwide prayer, especially in the middle east right now. The end is near people let's all pray for salvation of those who need it.

CavFan
27th August 2006, 04:28 PM
I pray a lot, even if it's just a few seconds long. Whenever a problem or situation comes up, I'm usually praying about it. I've been doing a lot of praying the last two weeks because of a lot of sickness that is going around. I have a phobia of germs and sickness and I've been praying constantly that God will keep me safe from the germs. So far, I have been sickness free.

i pray as much as I can. when I get sidetracked I forget about it.
and its not so much "praying" its more like "talking with God." theres a difference to me.
praying is like.. praying over a meal.
talking with God is just TALKING with him..

20th September 2006, 02:04 AM
I pray often, daily, whenever the desire hits me, and always in the morning and evening. Prayer is communication with my Father and my Savior. I couldn't go without talking to them.

I have to admit that I don't pray on a regular basis. I pray whenever I remember, I pray to thank, to ask for advise or guidance usually. I love praying and recently my prayers are being answered. But even though I am trying to get closer to God, trying to do my best to be a "Warrior" different things happen and it seems that here and there these things keep taking my attention away from God. Is there something wrong with me?

Once a day, at the moment anyway, before I go to bed. I ask for God to look over myself, friends and family, and to keep my Faith strong.
Plus some other things
Thinking of upping it to two times a day though. First thing in the morning, then before bed.

I pray all day long informal though.. I just talk to God about whats on my mind, weather from doing laundry to my DH and my son, or just what ever.. I know he listens and knows my heart.. So at night is my problem, I tend to fall off the communication cuz I am so tired by nightfall.. But I do try..

Are you a prayer warrior? Does prayer come easily to you? Do you pray often?
Yes, I am an Intercessor... No prayer did not come easily to me, I had to learn it. I had no idea what I was doing. I pray as much as possible, we are to pray without ceasing.
I find when in a jam and having a hard time with something the Serenity Prayer is nice.
Prayer for the inner man is, " Let me grasp God's LOVE the breadth and length and height and depth of it."
Something to remember is it doesn't matter what you sound like, it's what you are saying. Come on, don't be shy.
I always put on the armor of God everyday, plea the blood of Jesus over my loved one's, my pastor & pastors' & our President & supporters, my state, city, neighbor hood, all my relatives, etc....
I pray as much as I can. Reading the bible is a great ways to kick start yourself, but actually, you should always pray before you read the bible for God's wisdom to open your spirit to what he saying.....
I pray ACTS-
ADORATION- praise him!
CONFESSION- we are to confess our sins to him & repent, etc.
THANKSGIVING- thank him for all the blessings he has gave me.
SUPPLICATION- prayers for the Saints & The Lost & etc.
This is short version of how I pray to My Lord Jesus Christ. Praise Him, too!!!!!!
I pray blessings to all that is reading this thread, it is a great subject! I pray that eyes are opened and blinders are taken off, In The Name of Jesus. I pray those who read this thirst to know more of Jesus and just can't get enough of him! I pray they get involved in the Great Commission, In Jesus Name, Amen. Hallelujah!!!!! Praise God!!!!
God bless you, keep you & grow you,

Oh, that's exactly how I feel too! I used to start my day right off the bat with thinking of the days tasks and worry. Then I learned that this is the enemy's way of distracting me from communicating with our Father in heaven and in letting Him be in control of ALL things.
I also love this quote: "i love it when he wakes me up to pray....mmm i just love Him. He is our "sanctuary"...enter in. He longs for us to be in His presence. He loves us sooo much!"

yeah, I used to pray for people when I heard sirens too, but now that I live in the city, I ignore them because they are always going off...it's just constant. Whenever I go home to the city though, they always bug me and I just drop a line to God for them.

I have a formal prayer I do with a devotional in the morning and I speak to God during the day. If I am worried or concerned about some one I will say a quick prayer. At times I want to be more of a prayer warrior but I'm not.
TheDemiprist
15th August 2008, 06:58 PM
Are you a prayer warrior? Does prayer come easily to you? Do you pray often?
I prefer to pray in a group, or with someone else. It's rather difficult of a concept to do such alone.~TheDemiprist
dave1988
16th August 2008, 11:44 AM
I think if you prayer by yourself, you are giving more a personal saying.
TheDemiprist
16th August 2008, 12:24 PM
if you prayer by yourself, you are giving more a personal saying.
Considering God is impersonal, some sort of unity in the matter would be a requirement too make sure the he has at least faintly heard the prayer(s) given. Doing it alone is difficult and upsetting for me, therefore assistance when speaking too the unknown is best tackled (or presented) with a group.
I grew up with the ability to do such alone, but I'm in no favor of it. Wanting to be part of
a greater whole, lonely prayers too God seem like pointless screams too a corpse under ground.
Without other forms of energy release and open expression, the prayer in and of itself is a dead
absolute including if how it's being applied is considered a negative force with the personal field
of what God may actually be.
It's not the 'body of Christ' if all are separate/disconnected under the 'house of God'. Thus, worshiping the corpse, decay, and death essence of the universe for failing to work together under his apostles demands and claims.~TheDemiprist

I am starting to pray much more than I used to, and I'm getting a greater sense of peace because of it. I always seem to forget to pray before food, though :doh:
I've started to pray using Anglican Prayer beads lately and I find them a great help (they focus my mind more).
I find myself wanting to pray all the time, but I prefer praying alone in my room, with the door pushed to (just like Jesus taught us to). If I need to pray in public, I just close my eyes, but don't put my hands together. I also pray whilst driving (with eyes open, of course ^_^), and whilst walking to and from school runs.

I pray before I go to bed and usually when I wake up in the morning.
if anyone has a request I try to pray for them right away so I don't forget anything.:prayer:
