How Often Do You Pray?

[GraceDaily]

I'm just wondering, I usually feel like I don't pray enough. Although it's constant throughout the day, it's not very long at a time.

My prayer is kinda like that, but I try to kick it off with a "devotional prayer" so that I'm making some time for just me and God.

 

[WileyCoyote]

Not enough.

The Bible says to pray continuously. I speak to God throught the day, often without even thinking of it. Mainly my prayers are just me talking to Him about whatever I happen to be doing or if I'm worried or upset about something. I sometimes worry wether that is the correct way to pray, but after reading that Bible verse I'm confident. God knows what we need/are thinking before we ask and Jesus is supposed to be our absolute best friend, I just tell Him what is on my mind. I don't think that it matters how long/short it is, I think that He would prefer that we are completely honest rather than trying to pray something long and drawn out.
I've asked Him to teach me how to pray and that is the way that seems right for me.

Most of my prayers are me saying sorry for bad thoughts etc!

It depends what you think prayer is.

I "talk" to God all the time. But I'm not down on my knees, I'm not reciting carefully formulated and well-worded phrases. I'm talking to Him.

For me, that IS my prayer. I converse with Him on a regular basis throughout the day.

Not enough.

I pray every time I feel a guilty conscience from sinning, and the say the Lord's Prayer each Sunday to honor the Sabbath, since I can't be bothered with Church.

 

[Apollo Celestio]

When someone asks me to, whenever I wish to. It's pretty cool that he lets us do that.

Every Day, And Just How Morning~glory Described It Too. I Think Too Often We Are Just Reciting Things To God And Not Really Having That "relationship" With Him. I Figure He Already Knows What I Think And How I Feel So I "pray" Just That Way, Im Honost Other Wise To Me Its Vain. So I Talk To God On A Regular Basis. I Do Make Sure I Praise Him For The Wonderful Things He Has Done And Thank Him For The Little Things In Life I Get To Enjoy, And I Bring To Him My Needs And Others And Then Tell Him How I Feel And What I Think And Then I Always Make Sure I Tell Him I Love Him And Thank Him Again. I Hope This Makes Sence. I Don't Do These Things In Any Particular Order Or Make Sure I Memorize Any Certian Thing I Just Talk With Jesus.

I pray every morning with my bible reading, we pray at every meal (teaching my children to pray), we pray every night together as a family before bed.

I pray during the day too of course, I'm so glad I can, I need to, having access to God to talk is such an amazing privelige.

How long do you pray at one time?

 

[nataliexcore]

many times a day.

 

[HotRhymez]

I try to pray at least once a day...I'm not always successful though. I really need to pray more...but I can never think of what to say.

How long do you pray at one time?

It depends! I would love to be more disciplined, one day God willing I will be... I suppose if I had to guess it would be for about 10-15 mins after my bible study. when I pray with my friend in the morning it's about 30mins.
When we pray together as a family it's only a couple of mins.

I pray everyday, although I probably should go deeper than I normally do. Lately I've made a commitment to focus on praying for other people and not for myself and that encourages me to think of others and put them first. It's a good incentive to pray frequently and remember those around you.
