I pray like clockwork and IslamicFinder's Athan keeps me on schedule. The mind remembers surahs, the eyes focus on the prayer mat- at times though, they wander as if looking for an answer to a question that has already been answered, the lips silently read the surahs, hands are folded- right over left and the feet are planted firmly on the ground.
But, going through the motions doesn't mean anything if the intention is not right.
Why do YOU pray?
ps.I was asked this question recently and I found it a little hard to summarize effectively. Well, I guess I only had one point, which was praying is obeying the commands of Allah swt, and then I got distracted and went slightly off topic.

"Why Do You Pray?"
I think this Qs is best answered by Surah Fatiha
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful (1)
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, (2)
The Beneficent, the Merciful. (3)
Owner of the Day of Judgment, (4)
Thee alone we worship; Thee alone we ask for help. (5)
Show us the straight path, (6)
The path of those whom Thou hast favored; Not the path of those who earn Thine anger nor of those who astray. (7)
