Prayer is a tricky form of communication.

I was trained, then forced, to say the "Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep" prayer every night by my mother.
The prayer creeped me out so much as a little girl, what with it talking about dying while asleep and someone taking my soul....but I had a kind of fundamental awareness, even as a little girl, and I did not want to be saying those words.
I mean, I told my mom I didn't want to say the prayer, and she stood there to make sure I did, every night, until my father made her stop.
I only just made my peace with praying about two years ago, and I'm nearing 62.
They become important, our prayers, when they're done properly.....but too many people just use them.
Quoting: cosmicgypsy My parents said that prayer with me every night also, are your parents weirdo narcissists too? I hated saying it. I used to often lay in bed as a kid thinking how messed up they were. Lord knows if it wasn't for their self serving attitudes making them think their status in the church would benefit them, I would have never spent my life seeking the truth. They are now both currently insane, I wouldn't trust them with a lawnmower, somehow I made it out without being a retarded psychopath. I'll give them their credit where its due, I forgive them.
