| Abstract | The present study has built on three earlier studies reported by Francis and Burton (1994), Francis and Evans (1996), and Francis (2005) to test the hypothesis that there is a positive correlation between frequency of prayer and perceived purpose in life among 13-to 15-year-old young people who are within a community with high levels of church attendance. The study has drawn on a unique database of young people in Northern Ireland who are representative of both the Catholic and the Protestant communities. In exploring the relationship between prayer and purpose in life, care has been taken to control for the potentially contaminating influences of church attendance, sex, school year, and individual differences in personality. These data demonstrate a clear relationship between frequency of prayer and perceived purpose in life. The relationship holds good both among the young people who identify with the Catholic community in Northern Ireland and the young people who identify with the Protestant community in Northern Ireland.
