Why do people pray? I just can not get into it? Can you give me some examples of the types?

Question

of things that your prayers include, like whirled peas and etc.? I am just not seeing it, enlighten me

Answer 1

Why do we pray? To grow closer to God. The prayer Jesus taught us is the Our Father.

Our Father
Who art in Heaven
Hallowed be Thy name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done
On earth as it is in Heaven
Give us this day
Our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those
Who trespass against us
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
(Protestants usually end it here with "Amen")

Catholics continue the prayer with

For thine is the kingdom, the power
And the glory
Amen

That is a form prayer.

Basically tho, it is best to think of prayer as your special time alone with God. Just tell Him about your day, your problems, your successes, anything you want. He is your Friend, the best Friend you'll ever have. Spend time getting to know Him and you'll want to know more. Knowing Him gives your life purpose.

God Bless you.

Then don't pray. There's no getting into it when you don't believe enough in your faith in the first place. Turn Atheist.
