I can agree that praying will make YOU feel better but it will not help anyone.
As said above, meditation should be the best way

Yes, meditation is the best way. I think everything that could make your mind be refresh is meditation. But, my meditation is praying. Everyone can take anything that he like to calm and strengthen himself, just choose the best.

Here we go again. Please stop posting because you aren't making any sense and are very much deluded.
Mediation =/= praying.

Code:

Meditation is a practice in which an individual trains the mind or induces a mode of consciousness,
either to realize some benefit or for the mind to simply acknowledge its content without becoming identified with that content, or as an end in itself.

Praying isn't that similar to meditation. It's up to the individual to choose, however he or she doesn't decide which one is the best. Stop living a subjective life. Although you see people quite often choosing the irrational path.

That's only what they want you to believe. It is quite hard to interpret ancient writings the way that suits the people. Belief in nature and the supernatural probably did; religions like Christianity did not.

The best thing in ancient writings is that you can interpret and explain it as you want.

Exactly. The interpretation could be completely wrong.

Praying.. In hope to gain something from something that does not exist.

Meditation.. Getting something from nothing.

I pray to get strength to face all of my problems. But, the other people said that praying is the shortcut to success. As a example, there is a person who pray to get rich directly, but for me, I pray to stay strong in my job and work hardly, so I can get rich in my way.
