How often do you pray?

Like the usual b*stard, only when things are going bad.

The ultimate variable here is if the Rockets are playing that day.

 

Before I get off my truck and come to work and at night...also if someone needs me to pray for them.

 

when its really late at night and i can only hear that faint buzzing.

 

That describes me pretty accurately. I will go through periods where I really make a consistent effort to be thankful, or pray for help letting me serve in the best way, etc.

But it isn't nearly as consistent as it should be. When something goes wrong I pray 100% of the time, when things go right I'm lucky if I give thanks 60% of the time.

 

Every night, before the kids go to bed, we all pray together.

 

I don't pray everyday. I don't pray only when I need something either. I don't always think about it, but sometimes I do think about praying, and then I do so. And, that's not to say I need something then when I do. So, an "occasionaly when I think to" category would have been nice.

 

Every night I say the rosary.

 

I pray everytime the Rockets need a bucket.

 

once for roughly every three prayer threads, usually

 

5 times a day (I'm Muslim), plus whenever I need something.

 

probably averages 1 or 2 times a day...i don't really even know if there is a higher power, but when things go bad i pray anyways, and when things go good i praise anyways.

 

I pray several times a day. Not just when things are going bad.

 

Only whe i feel guilty.

 

same, 5 a day, sometimes more.
and damn proud of it.

 

I pray to God to use his supernatural powers to make my favorite teams win sporting events...

 

I'm not religious at all, but every once in awhile when something cool happens that seems slightly better than coincidental, I'll say a friendly, casual "thanks."

Just in case, you know.

 

Wish I had prayed before the game.

 

Sometimes...

This wasn't a option on the poll, so I didn't vote.

 

Hey AB - what do you mean by praying?

Do you mean the official act (depending on your faith)?

I guess for Christians that would mean reading the Bible? Does the rosary count? What else?
For Jews...?... uh, reading the Torah? What else?
For Muslims, I guess that would be namaz or reading the Quran? Anything else?

Or... do you mean thinking about God in general and having a "conversation"? Does that count (in your mind)?

I like conversations (which occur randomly if something really seems nice) more than the rituals, because to me that feels most heartfelt, but others would say that doesn't count.
