Correct Answer: I had praying


Solution : The error lies in the second option .

The sentence talks about an action that occurred in the past and was continued for some time. Thus, the past perfect continuous tense should be used. The correct structure is "had been praying", which should be used to make the sentence grammatically accurate.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: I had been praying to God for your golden future.
