Prayer
I couldn’t imagine life without prayer. When I get in bad moods I pray until I’m out of it. When fear goes I pray until it’s gone. Lately I’ve found myself praying more because of the battles.
How much do you pray a day?
Psalms 31:1-2
Word of the Day: Altuism
I’d like to be known as a altuism, but it is something that I have to continually work at.

I used to pray a few times a day every single day and then I stopped. Now I am doing it again but this time it’s because I just found out last night that my fiance has cancer. So I am praying for him more than ever. I don’t pray for myself, I always pray for others.
My narcissism often overshadows any of my altruistic tendencies.
How often do I pray? Not nearly enough. Very good question.
The most beautiful sight.
Formal prayers, not enough. Quick, short, just talking to God prayers, quite often. I’ve never counted.
You’re right; I can’t imagine life without prayer either. It’s unthinkably wonderful that the God of the universe listens to us when we talk to him.
Constantly. I am in a nearly-continuous question and answer session with Jesus in my mind.
I totally love this photograph!
constantly
I don’t pray at all.
Every day is an attempt center my life around prayers of thanksgiving and intercession (praying for others). But of course, included in the mix are prayers for myself.
For me prayer is a private matter

what battles?
sometimes I need someone with skin on them so I talk my troubles out with a friend named Lisa.
I do daily.
Not enough, but everyday and least in the morning to start the day and night to end it
I have a daily appointment with God; I think if I had an appointment with the dr I’d keep it, right? So I keep this prayer appointment daily. Love the photo very, very much. Can I borrow it?
Zero times a day, every day. When I’m in a bad mood I think about (or do) one of the million things on the planet that make me happy.
All the time. But its never for me only for others. I figure good things will come my way when I deserve them not when I desire them.
I don’t know how much I pray in a given day.
Prayer is a lifestyle.
We should have a mind set to talk to God always.
HaVe A HaPpY OcToBer!
Lots
Zero times a day, I can’t get passed the logic that a god answers prayers of privileged people(you know having food, clean water, a home, internet)yet refuses to answer millions of prayers from people that really do need the help. And to top it all off said privileged people rationalize this with “god works in mysterious ways” or “god has a plan for those people” (that involves them to go through tons of suffering.)
I love that picture
To be honest, I’m not sure how much I even pray anymore…there is a lot going on in my family so I find myself just talking to God more. I’m not necessarily praying for anything in particular, but knowing he’s there is comforting 
Praying is literally talking to yourself. A pointless waste of time that reeks of weakness.
I don’t need such crutches.
I believe dog is god. Call it blasphemy, call it heresy, or call it a very keen observation.
I’ve never been a religious person; more spiritual than anything. In the past, I admit I didn’t pray as much until I found out my mom was diagnosed with cancer. I pray for my mom as soon as I get up in the mornings. I pray for her when I eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I pray when I have a quiet moment to myself. I also pray right before I go to bed. I’ve been asking friends/co-workers to pray for my mom, too. My thinking is, with all these prayers, the mighty man upstairs is bound to be listening.
That picture is awesome
Love this photo.
Crying helps.
I try to have a special time w/God which includes prayer. On the other hand, on any given day, I may talk with God at any time, so I don’t quantify in terms of numbers. This is not a religious issue with me, it’s a relationship issue. ~~Blessings ‘n Cheers
