      Personally, I don’t believe in God so I don’t pray. But if you are religious then I think praying helps. It can help you feel closer to your God, it can help you focus your thoughts, and think about what is really important to you.

      I think it depends on the person. There were/are times and places where people are forced to pray and I doubt that helps anything. But prayer definitely helps some people.

      I believe that people who believe in the God they are praying to are comforted by praying to them, and I think that the comfort can help them feel better about their situation. As a scientist, I have yet to see objective evidence that prayer can improve a situation. But, as a scientist, if that evidence were to be presented to me, I would reevaluate my conclusions about prayer.
