Well, here's one way to think of it. When Bob is at work, he is Bob the employee. When he goes home, he is Bob the father and husband. When he goes bowling, he is Bob the bowler. When he has a few too many brewskis at the bowling alley and wraps his car around a tree, he is Bob the DUI. But they're all the same Bob. \n\nAnd I will pray to whichever one is relevant at the time.

Another answer pointed to the verse “whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved”  To call on his name, means to rely on his authority.  According to the authority (instructions) of Christ, Belief + Baptism = Saved (Mark 16:16)  Note Saul was told “be baptized and wash away your sins calling on the name of the Lord”.  Obviously this calling was more than saying His name or praying since he had been praying for 3 days.  “Calling on the name of the Lord” is relying on his authority and doing what he instructs.  “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.” (Matt 7:21)\n \nIn 1 Peter 3, it talks about the salvation of Noah from the flood.  The flood washed away the wickedness in the world and allowed those in the ark to begin a new life in a new world.  Verse 21 says, “And corresponding to that, baptism now saves you – not the removal of filth of the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience – through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.”\n\nWe are saved by the blood of Christ that was shed at His death (Romans 5:9-10).  In baptism, we are “baptized into his death”, therefore, that is when we come into contact with His saving blood and we “rise to walk in newness of life”, or we are “born again”.  (Romans 6:3-13)  You must be born again to be saved.\n\nSalvation is not by belief only.  The devils believe, but are not saved. (James 2:19)  Some in Jesus’ time believed, but would not confess (John 12:42-43).  Jesus must not only be acknowledged, but he must be lord of our life.  We must be willing to do what he says.\n\nOne more point, EVERY example of conversion in Acts specifically mentions baptism.  None of these converts ate, drank or slept until they were baptized.  It was always immediate.  Saul had been fasting for 3 days (Acts 9:9). He was baptized and then took food (Acts 9:18-19).  The jailer was baptized about midnight (Acts 16:25, 33).  In Acts 2, about 3000 were baptized “that day” (verse 41).  Surely it would have been more convenient to schedule this many baptisms over a period of time, but this shows the importance (urgency) of baptism.  \n\nBelief, confession, repentance, and baptism are all important!  If any one of these is omitted, the plan of salvation is incomplete.\n\nBaptism:\n\nSaves \nMark 16:16, 1 Peter 3:21\n\nFor remission of sins\nActs 2:38\n\nPuts one "into Christ"\n Romans 6:3-4, Galatians 3:27\n\nPuts one into contact with his death/saving blood \nRomans 6:3-13, Col. 2:12\n\nWashes away sins\nActs 22:16\n\nIs by Christ's authority\nMark 16:16, Matt 28:19, Acts 19:1-5

There is no right or wrong way to pray. When you pray you are praying to God, it wouldn't make sense if you had to do three twirls and then stand on your head to talk to God, but If thats how you felt most relaxed and you could talk to God best that way go for it. You can say your prayers, anywhere, anytime, and in anyway.\n\nAnd Unfortunatly, I do not know of any churches in your area.\n\nGood luck finding one though!

Why do some “believers” often not get answers to their prayers?\n\nBelief alone is not sufficient to please God and have him answer our prayers. Even a credulous person may claim that he believes. For belief to have substance, it must be based on accurate knowledge, which can be gained only by a study of the Bible. Additionally, belief and faith must be proved by the works they produce. “As the body without spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.”—James 2:26.\n\nA true believer would need to take God into account daily, not resorting to prayer only when faced with an emergency. He would also do acts of faith, right works that include speaking to others about his belief and faith in God.\n\nIn Harmony with God’s Will\n\nThe apostle John told us: “This is the confidence that we have toward [God], that, no matter what it is that we ask according to his will, he hears us.” (1 John 5:14) Here is another requirement for having our prayers heard by God. Our prayers should be in harmony with God’s will. Furthermore, once we pray we should be sure to act in harmony with our prayers.\n\n27 What are proper subjects for prayer? Anything that will affect one’s relationship to God; anything that will affect one spiritually. The apostle John wrote: “No matter what it is that we ask according to his will, he hears us.”—1 John 5:14.\n\n28 “According to his will” would mean that we rightly would not pray for things that promote strictly selfish interests, such as riches, position above our fellowman, revenge, selfish pleasures and like things. But we may, for example, petition God with regard to marriage—for his help in providing a suitable mate. Married couples may pray regarding the bearing of children, or for wisdom in rearing their children.\n\nThe answer from God can be expected in the form of wise guidance in the person’s own individual case. (Psalm 32:8) Of course, he should be consistent and act in harmony with his prayer. He should seek for counsel on the problem from the Bible. He may consult others who can help him to see what the Bible says on the matter. He should persist in praying on the matter until he gets a clear understanding of what is the wise course to take. (Luke 18:2-5)

All I know is that GOD answers prayers with either a YES or a NO. Either way, He answers your prayer according to what is best for you, or for a reason, that sometimes you dont even know why.\n\nSaying the catholic Novena full-heartidly will help you proclaim your faith. Faith is believing.\n\nand IF YOU BELIEVE, YOU WILL RECEIVE WHATEVER YOU ASK FOR IN PRAYERS...Matthew 21:22

People mostly pray when asking for something. Praying to a saint is meaningless. Asking God for anything but protection is disrespectful. God is not our servant. We are His. People pray for the wrong reasons.

people praying together or alone has the same effect, prays is a form of talking to god, some are thanking him for favours received and some are praying for favours god always answers every ones prayers ,at all times, but sometimes he answers with a yes and some times he answers with a no, we got to accept his decession why he said no cause he knows best,  many a person has said i prayed to god but he never answered my prayers, but god did answer in the negative ,we were not listening when he said no . we are always expecting the answers to be yes so go ahead and pray with friends or alone, that will give you comfort

I pray both aloud and quietly in my own space.  I pray all the time and everywhere.  In the shower, in my car, at work, at home, wherever I am I pray prayers of thanks to God, all the time, for everything.

I pray several times a day and talk to the Father all day long.\n\nFasting in the right attitude can bring us closer to the Father.  I fast anytime I or someone else has a great need which is usually once a week sometimes more.\n\nI find it weird though that most Christians I meet either do not know what fasting is or they look at me strangely for doing it.

I feel that prayer is a personal experience of talking to God and just like talking to anyone who you want to have a relationship with you have to relate to them. So if you talk to God he talks to you. He sometimes talks whether you speak to him or not and just like anyone else who is speaking to you if you don't listen or take notice you wont know what's said. Just keep doing it and keep on knowing that God hears and be ready for his answers 'cause they come - in most surprising ways sometimes
