No matter how rich, educated or strong you think you are, prayer is an important part of life. Its not about religion, its about your personal relationship with your God. Our spiritual being is very much alive and also needs to be fed. Read positive, think positive, be positive. Be selective of the people you allow close into your life on a daily. They can either help improve you as a person, or slowly destract your mind to things that wont feed or grow you.
