Why do people pray?

[DrGuns4Hands]

praying is the only way to talk to God. prayer helps us to deplete our stress and our problems because we are talking to our God. every religion has a different God but still respect every religion because that's how they live and they've used to it. So in short praying is one of the process where you can help yourself because you have a faith on your God.

[Cyberbits]

people should pray because, by Him, all things are possible. Jesus says in Mark 10:27, "Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But not with God. Everything is possible with God."
    Daniel 9:18 tells us: “We do not ask because we deserve help, but because you are so merciful.” (Mercy means showing favor, compassion, and kindness.)
    God’s ultimate demonstration of love is forgiveness of the sins each of us have committed. “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God did not send his Son into the world to condemn it, but to save it” (John 3:16-17).

He is the only God who has done this, and is the only God able to do so. But His enemy, Satan, has sent many false gods to deceive mankind. Do not be deceived nor allow anything or anyone to take priority over the only true and living God.

God has a perfect time for our wishes. But for me not all of our wishes will do to come true, because God has a purpose of everything of why this is all happening for us, why they are poor and rich people. We all know that even rich and poor people have problems in life and for me God made it for us to grow and for us to learn from it, we are praying to lean on him and not just by wishing some material things.

Praying is a way of communicating with our Lord who created us. It is our way to thank God for his blessings that he continually poured out upon us. So we should always pray for our guidance and protection everyday.

Funny position. You have to be conscious and not God and your parents and instead of asking for God's help which is not and never was go to the parents and ask them for advice. Sure they always help you. What is your God, he is ever helped someone? The question of course is rhetorical.

Man will not live without God. God created everything, earth and sky. God created man and deadly. Man can not resist the power of God.
Praying is a form of devotion to God.

If you really think about it, you are being a total douche when you pray for anything

You are basically telling god... that you know what is best, more than god does

By praying, you are saying...
"Hey god, I know you don't want to give me a new car, but I want it anyway"
"Screw your perfect/divine plan god, I want a new car... me me me me me me, it's all about me"

If it is god's will... why are you trying to change god's will?

Do you really think you know better than god does?

Or, are people just selfish and don't care what god has planned?

Personally I am not telling God what to do when I pray. I am asking for his wisdom ,guidance and grace. I believe God is all powerful and he ask us to pray so why would I not do so. If he has asked for people to pray to him it only stands to reason that he listens and judges accordingly to the worthiness of your prayers.

Prayer doesn't apply to hedonists, but I'm not such a person, I need god and pray is the best way. For the atheist is like a joke but it can actually be interpreted as a boisterous spirit suggestion.

Prayer is a very importsnt aspect in a religious person's life. As you've said, this is how you talk to god. And it also keeps people closer tobtheir beliefs. I think even atheists at times would be praying themselves if they find themselves into some situations. We can all agree whether we believe or not tbat prayer is a strong indication that a person has faith and there will be times no matter how non-believers deny it, that prayers actually work

[rahmat92]

Praying is the right of every human being, the goal of praying clearly different people will have one thing in common is to hope that God grant what is expected by the human

[Charot12345]

People have different reasons to pray, some are praying hoping they can have something they want, some are praying just thanking god for the blessings and other are praying just to guide them for anything they do.
