Yes I do! I start each prayer by thanking God for what he has done for me and my family that day. For the food, clothes, roof over our head and keeping everyone safe in their travels. I pray and ask God for health and happiness for my loved ones and for myself.

I always pray to God thanking him for everything that He has provided to me from my health to a a running business (that I do get an fixed income) to being able to go to the supermarket to get the food that I will need to eat for the week to paying all of my personal expenses that I do have.

Oh, I try and try to pray every night, but I get lazy. I pray about forgiveness of sins, issues in daily life, and thank God for giving me everything I need. Other things come in too, but these are the 3 main ones.

At night, and in the morning and anytime during the day...
Mornings usually thanks and praise, thanks for my family and their health and safety, and praise for the gifts He gives that I don't even know to thank Him for.
During the day I'll often ask that he bless a family or a person and praise Him for the gift these people are. I thank Him that I live here. I will pray for the victims of war, and people who struggle.
Every day I ask Him to grant us His Mighty Hand and allow world peace, and an end to the war.
At night I pray for my nephew, who is going overseas to Iraq in a month or so. I pray for His blessing and protection for Sean. He is a good young man. We want him back, healthy and whole.
I thank Him for my leg, which they rescued from cancer years ago. I still have problems, but I still have my leg. I thank Him that I can walk.
God doesn't get a time slot. He gets it all. I hope my life is pleasing to Him and sometimes I ask that He forgive my faults.
I also pray for my partner's safety driving an hour to work and back thru NY woodlands and deer country. He hit a deer once. Totalled the car. But he was fine. He nicked another one lately. But now he's in a big truck with a grill, so he was ok. And I thank God for that.
I thank God for the beautiful color of the sky, the scent of lilacs and roses, the gift of the neighbors healthy new baby...whatever. '
'
And I thank Him for the trials we endure. I know I do not see always the lesson He teaches through trials. But I do know His intent is Never to hurt me or mine. So I thank Him for the hard parts and ask Him for strength.
I love to just let Rich Mullin's tune run in my head: "Our God is an awesome God, He reigns from Heaven above With wisdom power and Love, our God is an Awesome God....."
I SEE EVERYONE WHO ANSWERED THIS QUESTION GOT TWO THUMBS DOWN: Why did you even ask, then?

Yes, I say my prayers before I go to bed at night. I pray for others, our military, people who have lost everything, those who are sick, my friends and my family.

About 75% of the time, yes. I usually pray for other people, since I am a doctor (specifically surgeon) I usually pray for the people to get better soon. It's too bad because I am usually dealing with very sick people.

Yes, although not necessarily kneeling at the bed right before I crawl under the covers, but generally at bedtime.
I pray for health and protection for my children, a normalized relationship with my oldest child, guidance to raise my youngest, peace of mind for my wife, generally for my parents, for the USA and our leaders, for the leaders of my church. If I have questions or need help making decisions I ask, and I also listen at the same time to see if there are answers forthcoming, to see if I have any hints or intimations of what I should be doing.
That's about it. How about you?

I do sometimes and when I do, I pray for my fiance and his family and for my family and friends. I pray for their health and that they have found the Lord. I also give thanks to God for keeping me alive and blessing me every day. I have seen and heard results. So I know prayer works. Keep those prayers coming. Take care!

Every night. The Lord's Prayer with added prayers for everyone in the world to feel love and be at peace, for those who are suffering and for protection of those who put themselves in harms way for the benefit/protection of others.

I do. I start by thanking God for stuff....then praying for friends, family, people in trouble, sick people and anything else going on that day....then I pray about protection and guidance for myself and fam. I pray for people who don't yet know God (whether its someone I know or a stranger so that hopefully one day they will) I also pray for world peace or at least peace within my own personal world.
