what is the need to pray?

Question

why do we pray?

Answer 1

when you intend to find an answer to your confusions and doubts.
in a mere belief that there is divinity of omnipotence beyond us and speak in a universal language telling to the reasons you had to made and had to take then want something to be done and hoping for a said predicted blessing or miracles to come along. to the religious... may it be of goodness or for punishment or for unto his will.
its a state of mind searching for unity in a spiritual aspect, so its up to the minds longingness, so he prays to the depths of beyond and unexplainable connectivity.

Answer 2

You can pray all you want to.but the lord will not here you unless you are saved. From the moment you accepted Christ as your Saviour,your life has been changed. You have experienced a joy and peace which the cares of the world cannot take away. The blessed assurance. Was given to you as a free gift from God. Without doubt, you feel the compultion to thank him for what He has done for you it is completely fitting that you should feel this way. Prayer is communication with God. What a blessing to be able to talk directly to your Heavenly Father.As well, during times of prayer the Lord will also speak to your heart,giving you leading and direction, We are admonished to ask the Lord for the things that we need. He, as our Heavenly Father ,desires to do good things for us. However,we must remember that it is His will which we seek,and not our personal will. Consequently, all the things we ask Him for,and we should readily ask Him for whatever it is we need, should always be done with the idea in mind, that we want His Will and not ours.

Answer 3

Because some people think its actually doing something.... besides talking to the air....

Irritatingly enough... quite often they believe it strongly enough that if it relates to their own body, it can trigger a placebo effect that will cause the desired result. Doesn't work quite so well with out-of-body things though.

But essentially... its another example of the cluster illusion. They think it causes things to happen.... and sometimes the things in question do happen, and they falsely attribute it to the praying.... Doesn't help... really.

Answer 4

Prayer is the acceptance of the fact that there are certain things which are beyond our control. It is the request to a supernatural power or god to help us in our endeavours. When we pray we accept that the power to accomplish something on our own is difficult, sometimes even impossible.

For some, prayer is a relief to their tensions and struggles.

Answer 5

I look at praying as a time to reflect on the day.. to give thanks for all the good things in my life. To ask that my loved ones stay healthy and happy.

It's far more constructive to pray than to go around insulting people who have faith in something.
