There are also some who know their need of Gods power and prayer.

/Thomas

True, but there are some who fall under both here. They know they need it, but seem ashamed to show any public praying.

You are very right, Dave. The younger people in the church seem to act like prayer is for the weak. I am 27, so I could be considered part of the younger people... I wholeheartedly need prayer as a part of my daily life. I am trying to teach my children, 7 and 4, that prayer is very important. Not just to thank Jesus for the food He gives us, but also for the snow we don't like along with the things we do like. He deserves thanks for everything, right down to the air we breathe. My kids definitely know that. Jesse (7) likes to pray at bedtime and Amber (4) likes to pray before meals. Even when we go out to a restaurant, which we can't do anymore since I lost my job, but that is another topic... she still likes to pray and she isn't quiet about it, either. We pray for people we hear about on the news, we pray for mommy and daddy, grammie and papa (Gerry Buck), lots of people. I remember when we were driving on the interstate going somewhere toward Indiana, when Jesse saw an ambulance going the opposite way. He said, "Mom, we need to pray for that person in there, as well as the paramedics." I almost had to stop the car, I was so happy that he was thinking about someone else instead of himself and the toy, I think it was, that he was going to get in Indiana. So, yes, prayer is definitely important to me and mine. God bless, have a Happy Sabbath!

All too often we make ourselves believe that prayer doesn't do that much good, and, that our time may be wasted stopping to do it.
We get so wound up in our day to day, we forget the One that gives us life and the ability to work, think, etc.

Sickness, worry, bustness, all play their part in keeping off our knees.
We must make a decided effort, every day, to spend time in prayer.
Someone told to make an effort for 5 minutes to pray, and it was hard to think of things to pray about for that 'long'; after a time, 5 minutes was nowhere long enough.
I need to get back into it.
