    Am a witness that prayers work wonders. I believe that whatever you ask God and have faith that it will come to pass, it eventually happens.
    Jesus did. He modeled prayer. He practiced prayer. He prayed with others and he prayed alone. If he needed to pray, we need to pray. If he needed time alone with God, we need time alone with God.

    The world tries to quiet our prayers shouting, “Prayer doesn’t work, so why bother to pray.” It links our prayers to demands and answers as if the purpose of prayer is to get what you want. Prayer is not about placing a fast “food” order. Prayer is a connection and conversation with our Father.

    Did you ever go your parents or a friend with a problem? Did you go to them and tell them this is what you expected them to do? This is how you expected them to fix it.? And if you did, how did that work for you? To be honest, it never worked for me.

    Yes prayer help us to communicate with the God. This is our way to worship him or ask something on him. Prayer gives us strength to face challenges in life. Prayer is our way to ask God to help us with our problem and provide us solution for this problem. Our parent teach us to pray with God at a very young age because they believe that it will help us to become a good man and closed to God. We pray to ask or demand something from God and we expect that this will given by God in a possible way. God provide us our food for daily needs. God is happy if we pray for him everyday. This is our way to be closed to God and prevent us from danger. All people must know how to pray God daily because this is guide to closed and be success in life because God gives us strength and provide blessings everyday. If we have a problem we need to pray God to gives us guidance and strength to face our challenges. Our children must teach us to pray God because this good for them to be closed God. God will teach us to live in a proper way and away from sin.

    Oh yes I believe in them. The problem comes when you have to but you are too lazy to do it properly. Sometimes you end up mumbling through what you intent to pray about especially if it is night time thanks before you retire to bed (or should I use the word 'I' instead of 'you')

    Well, I have preyed for various things and seen answers to whatever I prayed for. Whenever the scenario above happens I end up remembering that I am actually a descendant of Adam and Eve who were given instructions by God himself and failed him.

    I believe in prayers, its the only way to access the throne of God , where we are able to commune and develop an intimate relationship with are maker. If we believe indeed in the Lord Jesus for the salvation of our souls, if we walk uprightly and do not regard iniquity in our hearts, if we continue to wait patiently upon God , that is when we see the fruits of our prayers. The bible teaches us that if we humble ourselves and pray, God hears from heaven and heals our land. And the New Testament assures us that the fervent prayers of righteous men can make a difference.

    I do believe so much in prayers. But prayers without Faith is not necessary. You have to believe to achieve.

    The most important thing I have come to know about prayers is that we should not approach the throne of grace as if we are strangers. We should pray with confidence that we are going to receive as long as our Faith is strong.

    I believe in prayers and I need them like the air I breath. The bible says, "Commit your ways to the Lord and your plans will succeed". Everyone knows that we have to act to get something done but I always pray that the Lord will establish the work of my hands. I don't believe in self reliance or a life lived by human effort. I 've always believed in the grace of God. He is the only one who's all powerful and loving who bless us with all the good things. And even if things don't go my way, I know He works for good. God has always been my strength and comfort.

    I do have a journal I keep with me. I write down my prayers during my daily devotion as long as I could. And I've had so many answered prayers. He provides more than what I need and saves me even from the troubles I caused myself because of my disobedience.

    I don't necessarily believe in prayers so much as I believe in "vibes". It's a silly word to use, but I don't pray to any specific god or being. Rather, I just try to send good vibes into the universe wherever I think they're needed most.

    This way, I am just being a positive person. I try not to overstep anyone's religious boundaries by praying to a god they believe is fraudulent or sinful. I also become a more positive person by "praying" this way, so I don't see any downsides to it.

    The belief in prayer is completely subjective to the individual that is praying. If that person believed enough to pray, then surely they believed enough in prayer to do it. Another person wrote that she believed more in "vibes" than in prayer. But, no matter what you call something, it is still the same thing. A prayer could be described as a vibe, a well wish or simply a wish, a chant, an incantation, or a one way conversation where one person speaks and you hope someone or something is listening. The pray may not pan out or it may. But if in the moment of prayer, the individual or group has a feeling of peace, then what more could you ask for!

    I believe in the of positive affirmations. Praying is a way of sending out positive affirmations for success or health and I believe if you invision success it will contribute to your success. Of you believe in good health it will contribute to good health for you or a loved one. Negative energy brings negative consequences.

    Yes I do believe in prayers. I guess praying is a way of white magic and it comes to pass as one has more faith. This have happened to me severally thus yes I do believe in prayers and the super natural being listening to them and grants them as requested.

    Yes, I believe in prayers. It contains our hearts desire. It's our way to communicate with God, asking Him to grant whatever we wish for. It is within our consistency and purity that God listens. Keep those faith strong and God will bless us always.

    I am a believer of God and prayer. There is nothing impossible with our God. He is the one who answers prayer. He also commanded us to pray. Jesus taught his disciples to pray and not to faint.

    He has examples of prayer. Prayer is communication with God. Its not always asking. Prayer can be praise and worship to God. Prayer are always answered. Its either yes, wait, or no.
