Question

I mean first thing as in when you were young by the way

Answer 3

My ma taught me prayers when I was about five and told me to pray to keep everyone in the family "healthy happy and safe."  I prayed for that (because I would feel guilty if I didn't) but I when I got bigger and my bike got smaller, I also started praying for a new bike.

Answer 4

I remember praying to God, and surrendering myself to end my anguish and pain of being lonely and worrying about finding a spouse.  Literally, and I am serious here, the next morning I woke up and was not lonely one bit.  And I have not been lonely since I made that prayer.  

No one likes to be alone, but now I see that this step was vital in my growth, as the worrying was a form of negativity in my life.

another person

Answer 8

I had to pick someone up and forgot their address I prayed to remember that address. I didn't remember though.

Answer 9

I actually got an answer without a prayer . .   unbidden and unsought for.

It saved my life . . .  .

This is why I, for one, can not dismiss spirituality, or religious thought out of hand. The answer as to what that was all about, I hope,  can be found in philosophy (or, at least, I hope to find the the proper question).

Answer 10

A bicycle...but I then got told that God doesn't work like that and so I stole one and then simply asked His forgiveness. Which worked fine.
