Indeed.

To: who knows what evil?

U.S. News and the Internet site Beliefnet funded a poll to learn more about why, how, where and when people pray. Here is a summary of the findings:
• 75% percent were Christian.
• 64% say they pray more than once a day.
• 56% say they most often pray for family members, with 3.3% saying that they pray for strangers.
• A little over 38% say that the most important purpose of prayer is intimacy with God.
• 41% say that their prayers are answered often.
• 1.5% say that their prayers are never answered.
• Over 73% say when their prayers are not answered, the most important reason is because they did not fit God’s plan.
• 5% say that they pray most often in a house of worship.
• 79% say that they pray most often at home.
• 67% say that in the past six months, their prayers have related to continually giving thanks to God. (Pastor’s Weekly Briefing, 12/24/04)
