How Do I Pray?

Perhaps you’re one of those people who picture prayer as someone kneeling in a church, eyes closed, hands together, pleading with God. But is that actually what it is? Is there more to prayer than this? And if so, how do we pray?

God loves you, and He wants to hear from you! You can talk to Him anytime and anywhere

Prayer is simply talking to God. If something is on your mind, if there’s a situation where you don’t know what to do, you can talk to God about it. It’s just like talking to a close friend. Whether it’s an exam, a problem at work, a family crisis, or your day had a rocky start, it’s important to God because He cares about you. Just the same, if things are going fantastic, you can say thank you to God! Because God is everywhere and knows everything, you don’t have to pray in a church, you don’t have to sound religious (in fact it’s best that you are not sounding religious), God wants you to be real with Him. While it’s good to pray out loud, it’s also ok to pray silently, He listens wherever and whenever. Even better, because He cares, He wants to help! It’s comforting to know that you’re never left alone because you’ve always got a friend in God.

If you’ve never talked to God before, why not give it a go today? You can try by talking to Him like you see Him standing or sitting next to you. You can start by saying something like....

“Hi God, thanks for being here with me” or “God I need your help. Right now, I’m feeling ….. and I’d like some help with …… . Could you please open my heart, so I can hear from you?”

If you listen, you may even hear God answer back!

God is there for you...why not talk to God today?
