Praying is the act of talking or connecting with God or a higher power. It is a way to share your thoughts, feelings, and gratitude, and to ask for guidance, help, or forgiveness. People can pray silently in their hearts, speak aloud, or follow special prayer rituals. Praying helps bring peace, comfort, and hope, and it strengthens a person’s faith. It is not only about asking for something but also about reflecting, giving thanks, and feeling closer to the divine.
