I'm sorry Virgo, I don't understand what you mean. Can you elaborate?

It is not necessary to go to a religious establishment to pray. You can pray anywhere, at anytime and under any circumstances. Jesus went up into the hills by himself to pray (Matthew 14: 23). He also told us how to pray (Matthew 6: 5-15) and said, "But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you... for your Father knows what you need before you ask him." When I pray, I pray for others and if my prayers are in harmony with God's will, then I know they will be answered. Isn't prayer just the most wonderful thing? Isn't it amazing that we can call the creator Father? Isn't it just mind blowing that if we forgive others, Our heavenly Father will also forgive us?
Sidwell - cheer up! The clocks don't go forward till Sunday 25 March!

I prayed for peace in the world, for the Lord's spirit to comfort and clam those with a troubled heart, strengthen those that are faint and ill, and provide hope for the future. I prayed for those in need to be helped, for us to look for ways of serving and helping others, for all mankind to put away selfish pursuits and to look to do good to one another. I prayed for the leaders of nations to seek peace and avoid war, I prayed for all of this to happen.
And I prayed for my child to grow up loving others.

We prayed for the soldiers from our region who would be going to Afghanistan, the world leaders and our own needs.

no i didnt.... i do not believe that god lives in a stone building ........ i believe god lives within the heart..... if you have a good heart thenthere is no need to worship in a church or otherwise.... if there is such a thing as god then he will know the good from the bad.....
interestingly many people who go to church and prey are not really very nice people...... one person i know goes to church without fail..... spends hours preying.... yer is a really horrible person who would help no one and says nast things about people...... is this person more worth of gods help than me who does not go to church but on the whole im a nice person. and what about all those priests who abuse kids or nuns that abused kids..... sorry but church is a man made thing..... and not something given to us fro the heavens

No, was there a specific reason why I had to?
Other than to curse the stupid person who ordered all the clocks to be put forward 1 hour today - I have no reason to pray or curse otherwise.

why would you have to go somewhere to pray? does the book not say to pray in private? to hold your work with the Lord in private?
so why must one go somewhere?
