In fact befor creation, the Almighty God asked the human souls if they loved Him the most; all the human souls relied off course.The quest for praying is the intrinsic urge which man has been trying to satisfy, since time immemorable.Prayers to God meaning to seek His benedictions and favours and express their gratitudes for His favours are continuously being made; but due to His immense love and mercy, he has been guiding the best ways and most acceptable manners to pray.The quality of that mannerism can be judged only from the reciprocation by God.Since God is the absolut and ultimate truth, then the guidance revealed must be an ultimate truth without any confusion and credulance.It is not that stones should start swallowing milk but this reciprocation is revelation through angles in its best of forms.

It is personnel time with my Father,and my friend. It is taking time out to worship Him. To show my love for Him. It is a quiet time. I ask Him to protect people to Open peoples eyes to the truth, to share my true feelings. To pray for others to be saved, and healed, to plead my case. He is amazing, and He does answer prayers. He may not answer them the way I want, but He does answer them. He knows what is best for me, and for all others. If He gave us everything we asked for we would never need Him. Or it could harm us.

Answer 6

Prayer is acknowledging that whatever you desire, or wish to happen, already exists (out there in the wider Universe) and is being brought to you. The way to pray is to ask for something, but not to beg or supplicate, but to actively give thanks. Instead of saying " please give me... " you say " thank you God/Allah/Hindu deity etc, for giving me... "

Also, give thanks for the things you already have in your world (health,family, home, wealth, friends, love, job etc). Gratitude is an energy vibration which always brings you many more things to be grateful for.
