I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life.

I'm just one of many moms who will say an extra prayer each night for our sons and daughters going into harm's way.

I am a religious person and rely heavily on prayers.

I've taught a lot about prayer over the years and how it is really just talking to God.

I prayed every day of my life, and that was instilled in me as a kid, and as I've gotten older, that's just matured in me.

My dad was a Muslim and would pray five times a day. I would pray with him as much as I could, in the morning before school. Sometimes he would tell us moralistic tales about genies, magic carpets and wondrous lands. My mother is not religious - she's just English.

To pray is to have a conversation with Deity. This sacred and supernal communication with Heavenly Father is a divine and delicate process. This crucial communication should be conducted with great care and in compliance with sacred counsel.

I have worked really hard on my game, but I think my mother has been a real pillar of strength. She has prayed a lot, sacrificed a lot for me. You know, she hasn't seen me bat so far. When I am batting, she is praying... mothers are like that, aren't they?

More than anything, praying just helps me to concentrate and let go of things that don't matter in that moment. It gives me peace knowing I'm in good hands.

I'm for prayer in schools.
