Do you really think someone is listening, or just scared to say you don't know? How do you know this?

No difference other than belief.

Okay...depends on what/who you're praying too. Like if you pray/worship a stick, is it going to do anything besides possibly hurt you? And when you pray, it should be to Jesus because you have a personal relationship with Him, and you have faith, because He wrote a letter to you (the Bible) and people are so blind they can't even see. What does He need a billboard that says "Come to Me I am the Way the Truth and the Light?" People get religion SO mixed up. They think they need the whole religious package and they don't want responsibility. Well, just let God take control of your life, and He'll take it from there. I even find myself not wanting to do wrong, and doing what He wants in my life.
Jesus should be your best friend. You should be crazy for Christ! I mean he saved you! Dude you were like scum and He made you and saved you! You're like His kid, and you shouldn't just talk to Him when you need help! I mean like only at meals and at tests...etc...is that how you treat your friends??? Because if it is, you're not a very good friend!

Its about belief. It gives religious people an extra boost of hope. Even if someone is listening, you're not going to get an answer. And these so-called signs, they are just pure coincidence and would have happened anyway. Just something for people who dont have much belief in themselves and need something more outside of them to help be a better person or hope things get better.

Prayer is talking to God. You can tell that he is listening once you get to know his voice just like getting to know your boyfriend's voice over the phone as opposed to other men. You won't hear him speak back if you don't have a relationship with him through Jesus though. That is when I would say you are talking to yourself. Faith is required for that this benefit. God has spoken to men many times about very specific things at specific times. Sometimes he says no, sometimes yes, sometimes wait, and sometimes very specifically to my situation. I can attest to his realness.

Prayer is when your looking for your car keys and your late for work. Talking to yourself is when your walking to car cursing the cold wind in your head.

surely no you do not get the comparable outcomes. in spite of if their isn't something their Prayer to who ever you have faith in, dose supply a individual a feeling of achievement. to boot "I consult from my "greater capability", my Demon, each and all the time. He, in spite of the indisputable fact that, listens." in case you have faith in demons them you have faith that some greater capability is out their, different smart you will possibly no longer have faith in a decrease capability, in basic terms a capability. remember you mentioned Demon.

There really isn't much of a difference. Once you get past the point where you realize nobody's listening...you should be fine....

talking to yourself in your head and praying is not much of a difference if your praying inside your head.

I guess the only way you can know if anyone heard you is if your prayers get answered.
