prayer box
well i dont know how to pray. and i'd like to start. and i was thinking of making a prayer box. like a box and i write down my prayer and set it in the box. at the end of the month i can open the box and see if i've made progress or god has helped anyone included in my prayer. do you think this is an ok thing to do? and eventully i can learn to pray properly but i think i'd really like to do this. so my question is- is this ok to do? its not the same as praying, but is it still considerd a prayer? because when u pray supposibly god can hear you. can god see or hear your thoughts if their on paper in a prayer box? plez let me know before i waste my time on this box. thank you in advance.

A lot of the people who have answered your question are correct. There isn't a 'right' way to pray && you don't have to learn a prayer. You can just make one like: "Dear God I ask that you could....thank you for..." God doesn't care how/what you say in your prayer, the thing that matters is that you <i>are</i> praying.
&& 1 other thing, don't get mad if your prayers aren't answered right away. Everything happens for a reason ;]

ok you have the picture totally wrong. God is not a science. You can not put prayers in a box and see at the end of the month if they "come true." prayers are not wishes. I think you need to be a bit more educated on religion before you pray. If you insist, look up some famous prayers and say them every morning and night.

it sounds like a good idea but really, there is no "right" way to pray. you can pray about anything. it doesn't have to be a verse from the bible and it's not something you have to memorize. it has to come from the heart. you can pray about getting a good grade on your next test or ask god to keep your family safe on the next vacation you take, you know, stuff like that. just don't ask for superficial things. :)

Praying isn't hard to do. What you write down and put into the box are prayers, believe it or not. So by having a prayer box, you are praying properly (but there really is nothing that says there is a proper or improper way of praying). You are praying in a nice, organized fashion as well.
It is a good thing, I think. Having written down your prayers and being able to check your progress sounds like a really good idea. A very thoughtful, healthy way to pray, I think.
As for wondering if God hears you, you can bet your butt he does. You don't need to speak out loud in prayer to be heard by God, He can hear your thoughts. You have to think about what you are going to say on paper, right? He'll hear you just as clearly as someone who speaks their prayers.
It is not a waste of time, by the way. It's inspiring, really. I've never heard of it before, and I never would have thought up something like that.

you don't have to write anything down just say dear God, and then just say all the things you were going to write for your prayer box. when you pray its just like talking to someone except your talking to God. its okay to do you just don't need to. you don't even need to say anything outloud, i say mosst of my prayers to myself and He can still hear them
