What do you pray for?

I always pray for safety for my family and close friends. Lately I've been praying for the Lord's direction in my life, and that he would give me a purpose. I also pray that when people see me a Christian, that the Christian they see in me is a good thing(Sorry thats so confusing).

That's not confusing at all Sean! I know what you mean, just not how to put it into other words :lol:

I usually pray for peace in the world, for my friend Derek, who's battling with MS and understanding and peace in my own life.
 
A lot of the time I pray for people at school who really really need Jesus but don't know Him. I'll occasionally pray for people close to me with various needs (about to have surgery, is sick, etc.) but I usually don't because I forget, and I'm bad about when I pray, too. Pretty much the only time I pray on my own is right before I go to bed, so If I'm up late, I stay up later to pray. :-?

I try to thank Jesus for certain things that I have - not as much for possessions, but for people and gifts and things like that. The thing I probably thank Him for the most is my best friend. We hated each other last year, because I was a total jerk. God really dealt with me last summer, and now we're like... really really really extremely good friends. It's just annoying because I get criticized for being friends with her (I'm a guy, she's a girl). Everyone thinks we have crushes on each other. I just ignore it because they're wrong, but it's still annoying. Anyway, I'm getting off topic, so...

:turn-l:

I know exactly how that feels, because my best friend is a guy. In a school, you can't be friends with someone of the opposite sex without them assuming that you have a crush on them. :smt013 :smt019 :smt013 We both just ignore it, but it's hard when the people in your own solid group are doing it too. That's probably why we've been hanging out with a different group of people lately.
 
I pray all the time. I pray for almost everyone I know. I always make sure to pray for friends I have that aren't Christians and I pray that they will come to see the Lord. I pray before every soccer and basketball game I play in, that everyone will be safe. I pray for struggling people in the world. I pray for myself and that I will not drift from God. I think that I pray so much because I talk to God a lot and that is what praying is.
 
Yep, Pray for and over everything! That's the way to do it! I pray for friends, people who don't want to be my friend, family, weather, food, life is one BIG prayer meeting! :bday: So I'll pray for you guys (and girls), and you pray for me. That's the mark of the family of God! :D Even when your anry with God, He always wants to hear from you. Because without Him, :evil: gets into our lives, and we can't do much.
