No, it just falls under regular Obsessive Compulsive Disorder--it only expresses itself as obsessive praying.

There were two men, one was always in praying and hardling had time to do anything, because he was so focus on praying for everything and almost during everything his life was so full of complications, but praise god he loved Jesus. The other would just pray when he felt the need to say thank you G-d and went about doing as much work necessary in life and loving his neighbor. One day both men died. The man who hardly ever prayed stood before G-d and was welcomed into heaven. The man that with the "obsessive praying disorder" was next standing
at the gate and G-d didn't allow him in. Then the man asked "Lord why are you letting him in, and won't you let me in, I was always praying to you... G-d said "that 's right, instead of doing what I ask you to do, you WERE ALWAYS BOTHERING ME.
Even our Creator needs a break!

No. But there is such a thing as "Get on Yahoo! Answers and ask insulting questions In the R&S section disorder" - and you have it.
But - Namaste!

There is such a thing as Delusional Disorder. Obsessive praying would be a symptom.

There's nothing called that. However, if a person prays more than they act, it's too much. I think God wants us to do things, not just pray. But I think he wants us to pray, too.

No there is not.
The Bible says that God will keep us in perfect peace if we keep our mind stayed on Him. Sounds like a good place to be if you ask me!
Strong's Concordance says "stayed" means; to lean upon or take hold of, bear up, establish, stand fast, sustain.
From; www.answers.com/topic/stay - 114k
we have the meaning;
"To continue to be in a place or condition: stay home; stay calm."
Perfect means; moral completeness
Peace means; harmonious
Trust means; to have confidence or faith in

Obsessive praying becomes superstition, which is the opposite of praying. Better to meditate on God than to constantly talk to God.
