I agree with you. It should be something that you and God understands. It does not have to make sense to anybody.

I agree with you. I believe that purposefully incorporating all of these prayers into one's day comes across as somewhat compulsive and could even look a little forced. One can choose to pray or not. I don't believe there is a proper method. There is no set time or location. Prayer is a personal communication.

Exactly! Really, what I attempt to do is foster a spontaneous method of speaking with my creator, which may be at any time and in any way that reveals itself. I believe that attempting to do them all would come out as ritualistic and unauthentic. The ritual would be more important than the relationship.Ahbed Nadir wrote: ↑19 May 2021, 01:22My point exactly, everyone will have different experiences or situations that make them feel connected to God or at peace with him. There's no rigid set of rules for approaching Him in prayer.cd20 wrote: ↑18 May 2021, 12:57I agree that we do not have to follow a strict regimen of praying to connect with God. I went to the beach this weekend and that helped me to feel connected to God. I think that is the beauty of faith, our relationship with Christ is going to be unique to each individual. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.Ahbed Nadir wrote: ↑18 May 2021, 02:32 I feel that one should not have to follow a strict regimen of praying just to connect with God. As every individual is different so too will their praying styles differ and God will answer each one equally.

I do walking prayers too. I talk to God whenever I want, whether I'm taking a walk or working. I find the time I need to pray. I believe that being impromptu in our prayers helps us to be more authentic with both ourselves and our Creator.B Sheila Holt wrote: ↑20 May 2021, 03:17 I agree with the idea of the walking prayers. I pray all through my day. I don’t have a set time or set way to talk to God. I just “talk”. He is there and hears me. Then when I am still and quiet, I can meditate on the Word and IN the Word and have different prayers. He hears and responds to all of them. God just welcomes the fellowship, the relationship and the constant communication.

I have experienced mindless praying before. It felt more like fulfilling all righteous without being involved. Now, I make an effort to include at least one or two more of these in my daily activities, sometimes more and sometimes less depending on the situation. Whichever way, the most important thing is that I pray everyday.Karissa Schilling wrote: ↑23 May 2021, 18:37 When it comes to prayer, more doesn't always mean better. I can't help but feel that doing all of these prayers daily would lead to mindless praying, which is almost worse than not praying at all. I think the amount to which a person prays in a day should be natural and not ritual, otherwise it loses genuine feeling.
