Do you find need to pray?

If you are aware of God within and without then your whole life in communication with God is prayer.

Hello Dear Ray. It's been such a long time and I really am not able to come on YA right now. Perhaps eventually. But I'm glad I was able to make a rare stop tonight and see your question. Prayer means a lot to me in my life. It's the fuel that often keeps me going through those tough times, and it is a natural thing for me every day. I try very hard to incorporate gratefulness every day as I wake up. Usually I just talk to the Lord in an easy way. There are times when I go to Him though in deep prayer, or heaviness, for someone, or even with a sadness or need in my own life. I can't imagine my life without prayer!. I loved Evelyn's answer and have always felt she gave wise and sincere responses. Hope all is well. I am doing very well and life is good and full. One day I hope I can return to YA a little bit. Stay well Ray..Keep on smiling my friend.

Oh Ray, thank you so much for sharing with us. That was beautiful, and I echo Hallelujah and Amen.

I feel like Mr. God and I have a close relationship. I pray to Him every day and night, and in His way, I believe He has answered my prayers.

LIFE is reason enough for prayer

the fact that I woke up this morning

that my own beloved is still here

and with me each step of the way.

Each curve in the path is consumed gratefully

as this heart and soul connects,

communicates without interruption in praise;

love flows both ways in all my days.

Yes, I need to pray, but most often do so quietly. I will pray from the heart and often from the open wounds of life of which there have been many. That said, the point also comes form the joys of life, of which there have also been many. There is something to be said for the Armor of God, is there not?

Well maybe this is about as far as I should go Ray. Am not a believer so does that offend ya brother? I need to know before I post any more. I can be a pain in the *** at times Big Ray...

I say, if it works for you Bro then that's fine and dandy with me. It don't work for me though. Tell me Ray is that fine and dandy with you??.....

Edit.........

Love the SHADES Ray, makes ya look a real cool son of a gun dude and, a Godly one to boot....lol

First, thanks for answering my poem. I just looked up at new ones

and saw yours on prayer and thought how apposite.

I love prayer, yet I do not do enough of it. I was wondering if you

think thought is prayer, where you are thinking of someones plight,

and lifting them up, but perhaps not in thought speaking to God?

He knows our thoughts so I gather so. Sometimes I think I am a

bit lazy viewing prayer that one when I am not putting words to it.

Yes, I find the need to pray, constantly, though falling short, press on.

Charles Spurgoen once suggested we should pray "situation to situation"

>> I have done that a couple times and it is definitely a Holy Spirit driven

journey.

I have a bit more on prayer but do not want to hog space, so will stop here.

Thanks and Lord bless you sir.

Do I formally pray? No. Do I have conversations? Yes.

God enjoys the Bible thumpers

and the doubting Thomases

so unalike it seems to you and me

but the same to someone

who knows more

I'm always having a chat with God , ''just selfish chats mostly'' but I always thank him for being there for me at the time I really needed him.. :)

Well,when God saves your life,you owe Him,big time.

The thing is,I enjoy it and praying comes naturally to me.

I know many people in need,i ask God to please help them.

As for me? waking up is enough...

bye.
