If in your belief system you find it motivating and comforting to pray to a diety, by all means do so. But remember the old saying that 'God helps those who help themselves'. it is up to you, ultimately to learn to be faithful, to work on your shortcomings, to forgive and to love everyone, even our enemies. It is not God's job to do your work for you. For suggestions on how to better do those things in your life you wish to accomplish, read books by people who have done them, as well as general books on the subject by authors whom you know share your same spiritual philosophies. Also remember there are as many definitions to the word 'God' as there are people on this earth...and that is the way it should be.

Of course! How can you maintain any friendship without communication? The goal is to have a friendship with God, and to do that you must speak with Him (or Her) often. Sometimes I like to talk to God about nothing at all! I just start talking about how I'm feeling, or how much I liked something (or how hard it is to not punch a certain someone in the face). Whatever. Just have regular conversations with God, not always asking for something. You will be amazed just how much your relationship with Him (or Her) will grow.

You praying to God can be a big advantage to you, becasue by praying to Him he protects you and you also manifest your faith. But if you don't want to, no one is forcing to pray. Just as long as you are faithful in God and you don't do bad things then you should be okay.

Yes it is important to Pray, because pray is something which God likes a lot, He loves it when His creation asks him for something...

Yes it is important, praying is just like having a conversation with God. You know how important it is to talk to your friends in order to have a good relationship with them, well it is the same for God. You have to talk to Him in order to have a good relationship with him.

The answer is within you, if you feel that you need to and it provides you with the comfort and inner feeling that you wish to have, then by all means, you should pray. If you are all A..OK, then being good to your fellow person, loving and caring is praying too - in its own way.

If that is what you believe..then yes, it is important. Some people do not believe in praying nor in God. Just depends on what youre belief is.
