    Every morning, grateful God has given me a chance at another day, before every meal i bless my food, before i go to sleep at night, and through out the day, it really depends on the day how many times i may pray, there may be things to be grateful for, there may be things i need courage or strength or wisdom. So, it really depends on the day. No, my faith does not require a certain amount of daily prayer from me or certain times of the day. Prayer gives me peace. God Bless

    I carry God with me always. For me some days feel completely devoted to prayer, but I suppose it's more of friendship with God that I keep with me. Through struggles, or heartache, or even immense happiness I find I pray more-- more "formal" praying I suppose, where I really make sure I do nothing else but focus on prayer. Through this I find protection and guidance. It took me a long time to accept God, and for a while I felt like completely ignoring His grace. When doing this I felt empty, just as I had lost some kind of friend, or an entity had been removed from my life.

    The Bible says to pray without ceasing. I pray when I get up, before meals, before bed and lots of times in between...I believe we should pray about everything. What gas station to stop at, for boldness...for mercy on others. Prayer is my way to talk to God...He talks back to my heart and through the scriptures. It is absolutely required in my day. I would be lost without His guidance.

    Prayer is a non-stop process. I find myself talking to God all through my day. Major time in prayer is at night before bed and also first thing in the morning is good to help start you on your day. Prayer can move heaven and earth. We are put on this earth as Gods' children to be His mouth and hands extended. God operates on this earth through His children. Prayer is so very powerful and can move mountains .

    No, since I am Wiccan, prayer is not required daily.

    It is optional, but daily prayer brings us closer to the Gods.

    Our prayers are said out loud mostly, during rituals.

    Ritual is my way of connecting to the Divine. Lately I've been getting into Islam...

    Allahu Akbar :)

    For me, prayer is communication with God. I communicate with Him all day long just as I would anyone else who was living in the same house with me.

    I often tell God thanks for my food. I ask Him to bless my food. I sometimes do this in the store when I buy it or while I am cooking.

    My faith requires constant prayer.

    Prayer gives me peace.

    Some days, I ask for things more than other days.

    Good question.

    I pray at least five times a day. Prayer enables me to transcend my daily anxieties and worries and experience for a moment a deep sense of tranquility, peace of mind.

    my faith requires me to perform 5 daily compulsory prayers.

    prayers renew my faith and my oath towards God. prayers give me strength to survive the day. prayers are like a way of communicating to God. prayers remind me of God and my purpose on the earth.
