God works in mysterious ways

How do you pray? Do you spend hours praying? What do you say while you pray? Do you pray just before exams and important interviews or do you... say a prayer just for the sake of it because its something you do every morning and night? What do you actually have to say to God? I would like to know what people say when they pray. Me, I don't pray. I talk. I feel better when I'm having a conversation. I have a lot to discuss, many questions to ask, many things to thank Him for, a lot to fight about, and of course things to apologize for. Its a personal thing. There's no fixed time, yet these conversations happen very often. I see my friends pray every morning before they leave for college. I read a book before I leave for college, Its called Daily Bread. Theres an article with quotes from the Bible for each day morning and night. I have been reading the book for the past 3 years and every time I find it to be different, somehow. I look for the answers in it and I find them. I find comfort when I am sad, I am reminded of the wrong things I do when I need to be reminded. God works in mysterious ways. He provides answers to my questions and he provides a shoulder for me to cry on when I am sad, in ways I could never comprehend.
Few days ago, I was very disappointed with my life because I could not get through any interview and I was so disheartened I almost told myself I wasn't good enough.
So, I talked to God and told him to do what he thinks best for me and guess what... the next day I got through the interview. All I know is that His plans are best for me. Maybe I do not get all that I want, but He makes sure I get all that I truly need. Just when I think I can never succeed in getting through an interview, I get through one. Just when I was ready to give up, I got something to look forward to. I am talking about mysterious ways.
