Kstarnet 1,502 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I pray everyday, every night for a place in internship for three months (I'm a Buddhist). I apply for numerous organizations yet they don't took me in. I hav to confirm my place by this 15/1/16(which is this coming Friday). Currently, I'm praying for a place in my Aunt's company and my cousin's uni (she's a lecturer) yet they r not answering. I confess to mom about this n she said to keep praying and that struck me to think whether is it worth to hav religion and pray like usual because no matter how hard I work, it is still the same.

Nanallah 182 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Yes. Whenever I pray, I tell God I wish Twice would disband. I think that by itself is worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abra 40,910 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 The sake of religion isn't to wish for personal gain, it is to get the strength to overcome hardships and continue on a path of self improvement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ogre Shrek 8,980 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Depends on your measure of "worth". If you're hoping your prayers would be answered (as in, you pray and your wishes get granted), then you might be in for disappointment and think it's not worth it. But if you're looking for peace of mind and comfort in times of turmoil, I'm told prayers can help. (I'm an atheist but have family and friends who are religious).

glow 2,321 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 If it's comforting for you then it's worth it, whether or not things happen because of it. Everyone has to decide for themselves if it's worth it or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regina 8,123 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I think it depends on what you're praying for. When I pray, I pray for spiritual guidance. I pray for mental or emotional healing. If God answers prayers, I believe it's these kinds of things that will be more obtainable than praying for something like money, love, or a promotion. As hinted earlier, I don't know if I believe whether or not God personally answers prayers, but simply being able to speak with Him in this way puts me at ease for the time, and I have a moments tranquil. Perhaps just knowing that He's there and He is listening is all the "answer" I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barack Oppama 5,738 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 i never pray but sometimes i lowkey pray when i'm having a hard time with something and i can almost heard God say "bitch u never prayed when u had no worries. gtfo" to myself. lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aitso 407 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I mean whether or not you think religion or praying in general is worth it is something you'll have to decide for yourself. I'm Catholic and pray for personal comfort, and I guess in times where I need help with something it functions more like a time to reflect on what I need to do. In my opinion praying isn't going to solve any of your problems directly, and it's not intended to. If you're on the fence then maybe you should consider prayer as more of a guide or comfort than a solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle. 3,407 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Sometimes praying without working on what you want wouldn't work You have first to take the reason and make effort Then you can pray for things to be as you wish it to be But if you are praying while not believing god gonna response to your pray... then don't pray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puellarum generatio 3,628 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 if you don't believe in this just quit... it's pointless i'm not a believer but i think it's how it works also i don't think personal interest is the point of praying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YNRA 1,082 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 prayer is just something to do to get rid of anxiety whether or not it works is irrelevant because its just stress relief and a way to calm your mind in other words, it is only worth it if it makes you feel better afterwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
