Do you pray?

[lastexit717@proton.]

Just wanted to know how do you do it? lately i pray thinking in other persons, trying to direct some good thoughts to others and silently asking for forgiveness and peace of mind , but it seems i fall short , what do you do? i've never experienced any sign or paranormal ocurrency , i feel like im even more lonely than i though since i cant tell anyone the sins that make me want to CTB .
If you found any way out please share if you can.

 

[jbear824]

Idk, is looking up into the stars and begging the consciousness and will of the universe to end my life, praying?

 

[GreenGlassDoor]

Eeh for me that counts, as i do something similar. I think of it like an act of communication, maybe not outright worship. Just talking to the universe or the powers that be seems valid. Maybe its more like wishing than worship but thats beyond me.

Sometimes. My boys know way more about it than me so I usually echo what they say. A lady at the hospital asked me to read her psalms and those are pretty good I think. I will feel tingles and shivers when talking about God or seeing signs talking about God, but I haven't read my Bible or prayed in a while. I want to learn more about God but I'm really scared of going to hell so I try to not think about it too much.

 

[FailerQt.]

Not anymore since the exact opposite of what I prayed for always happened.

Then i pray a little for them to happen my friend =)

No, I don't pray, I don't even believe in an metaphysical entity that affects the flow of life. If there was one, it would be doing everything in its power to make everything bad.

I found Psalms and almost all the New Testament its very comforting, the Old one not so much , i wish i could feel something like you do , must be awesome.
Dont be afraid , i dont think reaching God gets you closer to hell.

i think your way counts too , i dont conceive a world void of something beyond us, if i do then i lost all hope left in me.

I think it is, i say prayer meaning ..to ask and try to found peace in something beyond ourselves , and its impossible to see the stars and not thinking in how beautiful all can be, so i will try your way.

we will find hope , our hearts will feel joy again i promise you.

I used to pray and beg god for good things to happen, but all I've got was only a more and more pathetic life. Now I only pray for my death, but I guess I'll can really only rely on myself for that.

 

[Praestat_Mori]

I think praying is comparable to meditation.

I don't pray bc if I pray for death it's not gonna happen and if I pray for other good things to happen to me so I would not have to consider CTB they're also not happening.

 

[Darkover]

no because they know what the problem is but the people preying think that saying words and not acting on it will make it all better.
People still die, are sick, and suffering and still no healing or change in circumstances. it's a colossal waste of time.

 

[dreamingofrest]

I do, I was raised very religious, and even though I'm not a part of any organized religion anymore and am not sure what I believe I find some comfort in thinking that we're not alone and there is someone/something listening.

God wont take you to hell for killing yourself. Jesus said anyone who believe he died for our sins in a cross is saved. Suicide is a option to go, many christians says you will go to hell if you CTB but even Tupac said "Only God can judge me", Samson got strenght from God to kill himself while he was blind and all the others, there are contexts, God understand our need to suicide because sometimes it is the only way out as it was for Samson.

I will give all to know that my prayers are being listened , im also not part of any organized religion but i slip into churches recently to try to feel something , i always get overwhelmed by my own pain and guilt , but at the same time i feel some solace when i see all those people inside in comunion, maybe im just crazy

You're not crazy at all, I think anything you can find some solace in is a good thing. I wish I could know my prayers are being listened to as well… I guess that's where faith comes in.

 

[wanttodie]

YES pray that i die

Stare at a candle and let your mind race until it clears. Try 5-10 minutes then build up to 30+. It's hard, funnily enough. Worth trying if nothing else helps.

I do on occasion to calm down while panicking. A quick prayer while looking for something desperately, for instance, helps me clear my mind to look for the item more effectively.
I think it's just a mechanism I've trained myself to be able to feel calm after using.

 

[Abyssal]

No

 

[BlackMoon]

I pray, I don't have any religion, only my own personal beliefs. I pray to have the chance to leave this world peacefully. Nothing else.

I wish i could achieve that, so i can be at peace without using pills, thanks for comforting me. =)

 

[Readytogohome]

Yes, I pray often, throughout the day. I believe my prayers are heard and answered, even though the answer may be No.

 

[BlackBlood6]

Not anymore. That's the dumbest thing I ever did, think some god was gonna come out of the sky and save me.... he wanted me to save myself and I didn't know how until it was too late I think anyways.

People can do anything they set their minds to, and if they set it to pray to some god who clearly doesn't care about humanity it's sort of playing into the victim mentality. So yeah. Hell no.

 

[WordsAreHard]

I used to pray everynight for the safety and happiness of my family. My son was diagnosed with crohns when he was 14. He was miserable both physically and mentally. He fought for 3 years.He ctb'd on November. Now I pray everynight to join him. So far none of these prayers were answered but I keep praying.

[DEATH IS FREEDOM]

If there is a spirit world, we who are alive probably cannot perceive it. There are people who claim that they can talk to the dead - but are they only imagining it? I have never been able to perceive anything divine or spiritual. Though when one is alone in the face of death, this would be desirable. I can only feel that I live on a dying and overpopulated planet in an infinite Universe. This leads me to the conclusion that death is the end and everything else is fantasy.

I kinda think the similar things , if there is something else its impossible to perceive , and if death is the end, i think most of us here are ok with that.

 

[Raindancer]

Yes I pray. My prayer life has changed many times and if I find it's not working then I change it. For me I find the most peace repeating God's promises, or when I am feeling a certain way, mostly stressed and anxious I will try to memorize a verse or two and repeat it over. Almost always about peace. It has gotten me me through many a night. I also try and pray for others because at times I begin to feel it's always about me.

I don't pray but I like to light a candle for people or as a little way to communicate with the universe. I know it's all probably placebo, but it's comforting to think that something or someone is looking out. Plus, just venting about things I can't really talk about with anyone else and speaking out my thoughts out loud to a dancing flame is both cathartic and calming.
