So many followers approach me with distress saying they have been praying for hours and days and weeks and gave up when their prayers were never answered. After a brief consultation it was apparent to me that so many people have never learned HOW to pray! We can relate praying to anything in life. Just as we need to build up our muscles before we can lift heavy objects so we must also learn how to pray. I suggest you do not pray for a million dollars at first! Start out by praying for a dollar and then ten dollars and work your way up the crucifix. We all know God does not like other religions so if you pray for bad things to happen to muslims God is right there and probably in the process of going after them anyway. Some prayers involve trade secrets so if your 16 year old daughter gets pregnant she will need to go see a family friend for about nine months and then come home a little puffy.

Does it matter how you pray?
If there's no one to hear your prayer it doesn't matter what you do, it'll go unanswered.

All i can really say is WTF?!!!
So after reading this question, i really thought that this was a sincere question. I was going to say that it doesn't matter how you do it, just do it!
It has been said that even if a prayer consisted of only 2 words, as long as they are uttered in love and sincerity, then it is done right.
We do not pray for money, nor harm, nor anything for our own selfish means.....What, may i ask, is your spiritual or religious affiliation? And how dare you assume that God does not like any one religion in particular......
And by the way, would that be your 16 yr old you are talking about?
Bless them all goddess.....especially the ignorant and pitiful!
I do hope you find what you seek.....if indeed, you do seek.
blessed be

I don't know if there is really such a thing as knowing How to Pray, except to talk or cry out to Him in Jesus Name.
Read your bible, do a study on prayer in the bible.*
