I'm not an atheist, so I can't answer that part of your question. I pray for world peace,our troops in Iraq, and for the health and welfare of my family and friends. I pray that I can be a better person and get rid of my bad habits, be more understanding and less critical.

I pray that the world will see islam for what it is, an evil mockery of the real God. Muhammad was a thief, rapist, murderer, and even a pedophile. Muhammad was not a prophet and I pray that every person who now is a muslim will see the truth, leave islam, and be saved through faith in Jesus.

What may we pray for? The Bible explains: “No matter what it is that we ask according to his will, he [Jehovah] hears us.” (1 John 5:14) So we may pray for anything that is in harmony with God’s will. Is it his will that we pray about personal concerns? By all means! Praying to Jehovah can be much like talking to a close friend. We may speak openly, ‘pouring out our heart’ to God. (Psalm 62:8) It is proper for us to ask for holy spirit, for it will help us to do what is right. (Luke 11:13) We can also ask for guidance in making wise decisions and for strength in coping with difficulties. (James 1:5) When we sin, we should ask for forgiveness on the basis of Christ’s sacrifice. (Ephesians 1:3, 7) Of course, personal matters should not be the only subjects of our prayers. We should broaden out our prayers to include other people—family members as well as fellow worshipers.—Acts 12:5; Colossians 4:12.
Matters relating to Jehovah God should be given first importance in our prayers. We certainly have reason to express heartfelt praise and thanks to him for all his goodness. (1Â Chronicles 29:10-13) Jesus gave the model prayer, recorded at Matthew 6:9-13, in which he taught us to pray that God’s name be sanctified, that is, treated as sacred, or holy. That God’s Kingdom come and that his will be done on the earth as it is in heaven are mentioned next. Only after covering these important matters relating to Jehovah did Jesus give attention to personal concerns. When we likewise give God the most important place in our prayers, we show that we are interested in more than just our own welfare.

I pray for other people and the hard things that they are going through, that God will give them strength and comfort. I pray for comfort, peace and forgiveness.
