Do you still pray like when you were little? Do you still believe? Image unrelated.

>pray like when you were little?
Nah, the way I pray has changed a lot.

>Do you still believe?
I do

What's the point, really? It all goes to shit in the end.

When I was really little I'd pray lying down in bed each night wishing things for like the health of every single person I loved (one at a time) and a meteor not hitting the world.
About the time I was a preteen/teenager I stopped praying except for a select few occasions and with purpose, and it legitimately helped (and humbled me when I took it for granted). But then I started focusing on other things and my faith just became going through the motions, before I stopped it completely by the end of high school because I just didn't see the point and it was a social negative too.
I'm in my 30s now though and while I'm not active in any church I definitely believe in something. Back to praying on very select occasions. It's worked out so far.
>>
I've had moments I stopped praying, but in the past few years, I always make sure I give thanks for the day, even if it's a shitty one. I'm a major believer.

On several occasions I prayed about pains I had on my body and they went away immediately but not permanently. Maybe it was just to say, I'm here. Or maybe it was psychosomatic. I got pretty freaked out when they happened.

Do I pray like that? No, but I do meditate for 20 mins a day now. Do I still believe? I do, but differently now.
>>
>>83833281
No, but I still do in moments of deep desperation. Even to demons, offering my soul, whoever's listening and can make something I desperately want happen. It never works.
>>
Life is too painful to pray, so I type out a letter to God. I hope it works the same.

No, praying now is more personal and more terrified of God instead of just going through the our father prayer.
