How do I pray?

Do I know how to pray?

Is prayer part of my daily routine?

What do I consider as prayer?

Am I truly sincere when I pray?

There are different methods people use to pray. Each one of these must be respectful and done first to honor God, and then to speak one’s thoughts, having the Faith to believe that God truly understands all communication we have in our little way with Him.

Formal prayer has an important reason for it. It has been written for us to say in a specific way, to help develop our Faith, our hope, our love, encouraging our requests, and strengthen our belief that God Truly Exists and we are truly talking to Him.

Then there is the prayer when we talk to God through our own thoughts, telling Him things no one else can hear, asking Him things that perhaps we do not want others to know, or maybe just telling Him we love Him and want Him to help us love Him more.

Good charitable acts are a type of prayer, a method of prayer that we seldom recognize as prayer, but they are prayers of action, prayers that come from our heart to aid someone else, to encourage someone else, or to give something to someone else that makes them happy, or something they may desperately need.

Many people find a means of prayer in reading the Bible. Some find it in Spiritual books in which they feel direction is being given that will be good for them to follow, or to see how others have used their lives, their works, their actions, in a form of prayer special to them.

When we embrace prayer as a communication between God and ourselves, we use the time, God-given, to express how we feel about Him, how much we need Him, how we depend upon Him, how we love Him.”
