If you want to pray for less violence,for example, just go out there offer up some peaceful solutions or something. Th ...[text shortened]... ing what you want, rather then praying.
Now chanting Gods name. Thats a whole different story.

Well for example. Are Church together does a thing called a S.H.A.P.E. Journal. S is for scripture what verse stood out to you today. H is for hearing from God. A is for applying what you heard from God. and P is for praying to God. and E is for exalting God.
Hear is a sample entry:

You puzzle me totally. You don't pray to God becasue it's pointless- right? I'm saying if Jesus prayed to God then it's not pointless.
I dont believe its pointless from one perspective but ultimately...yes I do think its pointless.
What,in your popinion, would be a good thing to pray for?

We are not so powerful that we can go and solve world problems without prayer.

Is it within the rules of RHP to ask god for guidence before making my chess moves?It is common to ask him to bless your food before you eat, ect.It seems to me that if god does exist and answers prayers it shouldn´t be allowed for him to help with my chess moves.

Please answer I'd really like to know.
When you pray do you imiagine God lsitening or an angel ready to take your prayer up to God, maybe the stamp on the envelope being 'In Jesus Christ Amen' Or do you pray to thin air?

Originally posted by galveston75I must be tired becasue I can not work out what you're intensions are here. I truelly have no idea! PLease this question is put to people who do pray. Is that you? If so can you please tell me what you imiagine when you talk to God; is He sitting next to you in all His fineary or dose He send His angles to act as post makers and only reading the prayer after you've sealed it with your stamp; your methord of getting the prayer accepted. Maybe He welcomes you with open arms and you rest in Him and it's like a listening and talking time?
