Imagine not praying
Go on! What would it be like to not pray?
You’re finding life tough – no. Don’t pray.
There’s a roadblock in your week – no. Don’t pray.
Someone you love is struggling with their health and it’s big – no. Don’t pray.
It’s just way too difficult to consider the idea of NOT praying, don’t you think?
Ask Google, ‘Do people who don’t believe in God still pray’ and the answers come back.
Even for those who do not believe in God, prayer is still a winning proposition.1
I’m not religious and I pray every day. Prayer can be just talking to God in your head, or out loud – anytime, anyplace. 2
Do atheists and agnostics pray? Yes, indeed. Quite a bit, it turns out. Studies show 6% of them pray every day, we’re told by the Pew Research Center. And 11% pray weekly or monthly. If no one is there, you might ask, who are they praying to? Let me guess. The air. The universe. The self, maybe. 3
Is Anyone there?
trypraying.com states, Does anyone listen when we pray? Is there anyone there who cares about our lives? Most people pray at some time in their life.
Amazing things can happen when we pray and so often people discover someone who listens. But it’s not just religious people. Millions of people who are not religious also pray. If that’s you, then we have a resource to help.
