Seriously pray meaning you take some time to pray not just make a quick sign of the cross and say a one sentence prayer.

I seriously pray every night before I sleep. It takes about 15-20 minutes. :)

I try to pray everyday, I've been forgetting but I like to pray the liturgy of the hours, morning at night, but I haven't done it in a while, been so busy. I'm trying to start it up again though. And If I have time at lunch I love to go to our school chapel and pray..

I used to, until I realised I was wasting my time and it never achieved anything at all. Maybe I should've made "nice" prayers instead of expecting something to happen as a result. >_>

I do it 2-3 times a day, but the night time is when I pray longer.

However, through the day one can pray in a different way, just another 'way of thinking' whilst you do your daily tasks.

I pray every now and then. I always pray before eating a meal--it's a habit I simply can't break no matter what. People look at me weird during lunch at school for it--like oh my god, is this girl really praying here out of all places? I don't spend a bunch of time saying any of my prayers though(usually 3 to 5 minutes), so im not sure if it's considered serious or not.

The holy spirit's job isn't to keep food warm while you or anyone prays.

No it doesn't, actually. God is God; he doesn't change depending on the person.

Sure it does.

Somewhere, someone probably believes that the Holy Spirit of Christianity is their personal servant.

You'll just call that bastardization when you meet that person.

Maybe not, but none of us know what he is really like. My belief that he might not be so caring is no less valid than anyone else's.

Well since noone knows what the true religion is, or what gods true feelings towards peoples feeling are (or if there is even a god), then noone knows whether he is or not a personal servant. So it does depend on your beliefs to decide whether or not you believe he is our personal servant.

It depends on what you mean by "seroiusly praying". I recite a prayer everyday though. I rarely ever make up my own.

I'm confident my religion is right. Do you want me to go on and explain? :P
