Praying

What do you think about praying? Do you pray? Who do you pray to?
As an agnostic, sometimes I feel the need to pray, but I've been taught that in order to do so you have to believe in god or, in general, in a supernatural being, able (and possibly willing) to fulfill your wishes. I don't know if I believe in anything at all. However, I usually think of praying as "deeply wishing" something. Not something like "please, I want a new pair of shoes", more profound stuff. When it has to do with me, ok, praying is another way to say "concentrating", "contemplating", or even "meditating". It helps in developing awareness f situations and feelings, etc, so it has results. But, praying for other people or situations I can't really affect, is confusing. Because I do it, without hoping anything or addressing to any specific being.
