    If "God" wasn't thought of as Christians envisage "Him" then perhaps a refinement of will is in order.
    If you have misunderstood the words then your prayers will remain a hit and miss affair I suspect.

    I feel the op question is fine here.

    Spirituality?? Gosh, you could probably have a pretty good guess as how this thread would go over there. I believe there has been similar ones there already.
    It's nice to see what the GF thinks about this fairly general activity.

    Maybe the conservatives do.

Phil, how frequently do you pray for guidance to an appropriate book on chess? (gb)
    Actually I was kidding, not that my chess is improving but that's not the point; I don't think any god would take me any more seriously than I take them. Praise the lord and pass the pawn; know what I mean?

    I don't pray. I usually just throw a coin in a wishing well or break a turkey wishbone. I find the odds of my wish being answered are exactly the same.
