Do you pray?

Do you pray? If so how often?

So theres a decline in religiosity (word?) in this country.

is praying something you do?

No

I don't pray, I talk with God, but I don't think of him as God in the traditional sense.

I don't believe in religion but I do believe there is something more than we cannot comprehend yet. So I talk to God, not in the scary talking to yourself way either, but sometimes when I want to wish good things for others or be thankful for what I have.

that we cannot comprehend.

Occasionally, in a rather wishy washy sort of way, but I do struggle with the inconsistency between (a) trusting that God is everywhere, sees everything and does whatever he thinks is right and (b) thinking that my prayer might make a difference to his plans

Although I do have a religious faith I can't help thinking that if someone's going to die, they will die whether I pray or not, but I do believe that you can pray for strength to deal with whatever the future may hold

I am so sorry Kazmus. Sorry for your loss, sorry that your prayer was not answered. Don't give up. Tell God that you prayed and she didn't answer. Pray to understand.

I pray (as you probably guessed). When I'm finding it hard to feel that God is anywhere near by I picture Jesus standing in front of me. I often see him reaching out his hand to me and I try to take it. It is hard to feel that I should. I usually need what is called grace to feel that I can. i have been aware of receiving grace a few times and it was truly so pure like nothing else is in life.
