Why Pray?

Why pray? Is God listening? How can we do it? Find out more with this animation from the 24-7 Prayer movement.

And finally, your last questions only make sense to those who don't have hope for eternity. What is so wrong with dying anyway? I long the day I'll be honoured enough to see the face of God, to be with him forever.
This is my opinion and my faith, this is what we belive. I hope I answered at least something of everything you asked. Also, sorry if my writing is not the best, english is not my first language.
All the best to you.

It's the first time I'll answer a post on youtube, so maybe I'll regret it...but just maybe, I could share what my answers to those questions are and be helpful. :) God knows everything, yes, but the principle of freedom is key to understanding this. He made us free, and doesn't want to impose anything on us, so it is up to us to believe, or to go to him, or to ask him for whatever we need. Most of the time, we are not open te recieve anything, because we don't believe.

[Tongji-osmy]

"Prayer is the test of everything; prayer is also the source of everything; prayer is the driving force of everything; prayer is also the director of everything. If prayer is right, everything is right. For prayer will not allow anything to go wrong."
— St. Theophan the Recluse

"remember God more often that you breath".
— St. Gregory of Nazianzus

"Pray as you can, not as you think you must."
— Fr. Thomas Hopko (Third Maxim of the Christian Life, „Ascetics in the World)

"If you call God your Father, then trust and hope in Him, as a Father most merciful, all powerful, most wise, ever-loving, ever-perfect.  Trust in Him respect the blessings of this temporal life, but above all in respect of future blessings which shall be granted you in Christ."
— St. John of Kronstadt

"When you feel the touch of the Eternal Spirit in your heart . . love streams like a light on all creation. Though the physical heart feels this love, in kind it is spiritual . . . Yet only those who keep a clear conscience not only before God but towards their neighbor, towards animals--even towards the material things which are the product of men's labor--will care for all creation. . . For the Divine Spirit draws the heart to compassion for all creation."
— Sophrony of Essex

”the very core of all Christian life:  the conversion of the heart of man causing it to burn with the love for Christ which transforms one into a new being."
— Fr. Seraphim Rose

"Stand guard, then, over your heart and keep watch on your senses; and if the remembrance of God dwells peaceably within you, you will catch the thieves when they try to deprive you of it. Those who recognize these evil thoughts for what they are remain undisturbed and continue in prayer to God."
— St. Isiah the Solitary

" Christ is the capstone (Ephesians 2:20) uniting us with Himself. He is the pearl of great price (Matthew 13:46): when one plunges into the depths of stillness and it is this for which one sells all his own desires through obedience to the commandments, so that one may acquire it even in this life."
— St. Gregory of Sinai

I have to watch this for my R.E learning

[Prayer]

Dear Julian Reyes,

Unfortunately those videos are YouTube's suggestions and so we have no control over what videos appear.

[TylerMantup]

Praying is pretty much talking to your inner conscious. Talking and coaching oneself to feel better about a situation. It has nothing to do with a higher being.

[hannah]

We pray by saying we are thankful, sorry, or anything!

[SimplyAWitch]

He lets everything happen, he gives humans total freedom, Most if not all the worlds problems are caused by humans not god, and I'd imagine if a god did exist it would want us to learn to love one another, this planet, and ourselves voluntarily.

God loves to hear from his children.Do you know someone that will say, My children do not call or come to see me?God loves you, let him be part of your life.God is the best friend you will ever have.

Remember the fall of the Berlin Wall? It started all with peace prayer in a church in Leipzig. Look for "Monday demonstrations in East Germany".

24 hour prayer chain for believers to seek reason instead hoping for a god

[ValenRaffaeli]

Also, being born and accepting to die in the most torturing way is just the opposite of selfish and narcissistic.
He answers all prayer done in faith. The mistake here is thinking that we know best, and pretending an answer just like the one we wish for. God has three possible answers for things we ask: Yes, Later, or I have something better planned for you.
Just a little bit of real Faith is enough for great things...it's a pity we find it so hard to believe...
