C'mon little sister---you know better than that. As soon as I wake up every morning, I spend 15 minutes to an hour in prayer and meditation asking God to run my day. I pray on and off all day not only to ask for his guidance but to thank him for all the neat things I encounter during the day. A neat butterfly crossing my path. A beautiful flower, a singing bird. Try mixing up your prayers a little and instead of just praying for you, pray for others less fortunate and pray prayers of thanks alot for God walking you thru the bad and the God. It works and you will get through whatever is going on! Heck, I gonna stop right now and pray for YOU! My Love to You! Kevin

Tia you can never pray too much. You should pray so that prayer becomes habit in your life and you will see results, God hears you and He will not forget, just be patient, believe and you shall recieve. (1 John 3:22 and Mark 11:224) Don't ever stop praying, that's where a lot of christians miss it, by giving up on confessing God's promises in their lives and by stopping their prayer, sweetie that's your connection to God and you don't ever want to be disconnected to God. If you are ever disconnected just know that He will never leave you nor forsake you, you just have to get reconnected and that can only happen with a prayer life and reading the Bible and applying it to your life. You're only 12 and things will get better, don't stress or worring, just put EVERYTHING in God's hands and let it go once you give it to Him,otherwise if you pray and don't let it go that shows how much you Really believe in Him and His word. So yes, you are doing the right thing by ALWAYS praying, don't stop. He will see you thru,no matter what it is, just do your part and thank Him no matter what and with patience and faith in Him, He'll show up right on time. I'll pray for you also. I love you and God does too. Also when praying and you are asking God anything, always say in Jesus' name. (John 14-13)(Matthew 21:21-22)(Matthew 6:25-34). Read those scriptures I have noted and always keep them in mind, write them down and post them somewhere just so you won't forget. And one more,my favorite Ephesians 3:20. GOD WILL BLESS YOU.

The bible say pray without ceasing. Praying is communicating with God and getting to know him. Don't you think that if you want to serve, worship, or even be in a love relationship with someone you would want to know whats in their heart. So in other words NO you can never pray to much.

the Word of God tells us to "pray without ceasing" so I can tell you with certainty that NO you are not praying too much.
Be patient darling. God only allows you what you can handle, and He will never ever forsake you - no matter what you have to go through.
Don't lose hope. What you ask for isn't always in your best intrest either.
I don't have details about your life right now, but I will pray on your behalf right now if you like, and I'm pretty positve that many people here who see your question will also pray with you...
God bless you, my child - and blessings and peace to you in Jesus name!

Everyone's life is messed up at 12! Praying does no harm, but don't expect all the solutions from it.
Don't worry, be happy. It will soon improve.
Don't be too severe with yourself. Try your best and the solutions will come in due time with your effort... and some help from above.

Muslims are required to pray 5 times a day and are strongly encouraged to remember Allah all throughout the day, for every single event that occurs in your life... good, bad or indifferent. Therefore Muslims pray all the time, and that can't be a bad thing.

When you pray be sure to ask that God's will to be done. This is because he knows better than we do. Also be sure to ask for insight; He might want you to go in a dirrection which you're not going and this can interfere with your prayers. And also pray for faith. In short no you can't pray too much, but do remember to eat, sleep, etc.

You can never pray too much. Praying is communicating with God. Do you ever feel that you talk too much to your dad or your mom? Of course not! We have to remember to give God time after we pray in order that we can hear what He speaks back to us. Remember we cannot have a one sided conversation. :)

Yes I do pray alot & yes it's ok to pray, praying is in fact what God desires from us & Prayer is the primary means we have to communicate with God. You can never pray too much.

You can NEVER pray too much!! Good for you! God loves to hear our prayers- it is then that we are not only spending time with Him but He is strengthening our faith in Him when we are praying and seeking Him.
1 Thessalonians 5:17
pray without ceasing,
Also:
Philippians 4:6
do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
