Hey Sweet......are you okay with the way this thread is going or would you like us to begin a new one?

*** Just wanted to add that I agree, a "real" relationship is based on give and take so to speak. I feel too that even when I get angry with God and my prayers are less than "thankful", I am still continuing a relationship with him. Just wanted to see if others felt their prayer life in the same way.

Thanks again for the thread Sweet, but I would understand if this has strayed to off course .

Take care everyone.

I don't think we have strayed too far off what I intended in asking. I don't much care for preachiness and addressing the way we see each other's prayers... but I was looking for an honest and frank discussion from each poster how they themselves pray... and imo there are a lot of ways in which that discussion can head. Discussion of praising a higher power, expressing thanks, expressing anger, trying to understand, asking questions, trying to connect...

I am enjoying all the posts that've contributed in that direction, without presuming to tell others what might be "wrong" about the way they pray.

I hope this thread doesn't stop here, and that people will feel free to share about themselves and their relationships with whatever higher power they connect to.

Thanks! Peace to all.
