Assuming you pray, whether silently or aloud, what is the gist of your prayers?

Are you always asking God for help for others? Always asking Him for help for yourself and/or your own family? Or do you tell God how much you love Him?
I give thanks

I ask for forgiveness

I ask for help for myself

I ask for specific things for others

@akindheart Sounds perfect. I hope you tell God how much you love him, because I know you do! 😊

All of the above, and I need to be a better Christian. I am horrible lately. 😔

@SW-User You have never been horrible...not ONCE since I have begun reading your posts on this site. You are funny, and kind, and you care about your friends.

It's not enormous to have a good relationship with God. It can be a really quiet and private inner conversation. Well...that's just me, I guess.

@4meAndyou You're right about the relationship with God, and I love seeing your posts too!🤗

I pray for a lot of things. Mostly for my family, especially my brother. I pray that things get better.

@4meAndyou I know. But I wish God to tell us if he was real or not by sending us a sign.
When I ask for things, I don't want objects or anything. I ask for friends and things. I know I shouldn't.

@Manfredthemanic You have to look for the signs all around you, and they are usually really small things that most people wouldn't notice. Some people call them "tender mercies". They are small little coincidences...things that happen that seem serendipitous at the time. God uses tiny amounts of energy...the minimum...to accomplish wonderful things!

Once upon a time, I thought God wasn't there because I couldn't feel Him. And then I looked all around me at the love on the faces of everyone in the room, and I realized...He really IS here!!! God is love.

@4meAndyou I know, but...okay. Thank you. 😊

Prayers are priors to me. So I write down what I have to do for posterity. Writing slows my thoughts down and records em. I get to flip whenever I get bored or go down to write something new. All my angers are stored with salvation.

Wow these are some personal questions. I can tell you, but you have to tell me what you and your friends talk about, LOL

@Beebo Prayer is a little different than talking to my friends, as you know. Just wondering if anyone bothers telling God how much they love Him, or are they always just asking for favors?

@4meAndyou I know it, I like kidding 🤭

But yes. I raised my kids to church every Sunday, including myself going.

I'm sorry, but what I pray is between God and I only.🙂

@SW-User That's nice.

Others, if I ask anything for myself I'm really in something deep.
4meAndyou · F
@Virgo79 Same here. I really don't like to ask God for favors...because I figure if I can't handle it, I need to be in the hospital...🤣🤣🤣.
Virgo79 · 61-69, M
@4meAndyou you get my point😁
Pray for others, myself, for hope, forgiveness, give thanks… sometimes we just talk.
