Do you want to learn how to pray? When a person is confused or anxious, it makes it much harder to pray. In that case, you must calm down and talk to God as you would to your best friend, which He is. It is a conversation, exchanging thoughts and emotions, hopes and fears, gratitude and repentance. There is no right or wrong way to pray; it simply requires sincerity, faith, and an intention to align oneself with God’s will. One must talk to the Lord as if He were on the phone. We need to be sure we listen to what God is prompting us to do or say. God is not concerned about the quality or quantity of our words. He listens to our hearts. One day at McCarthy Park, God opened my mind to a new way of praying. I sat on the park bench by the lagoon, and instead of praying a grocery list of selfish prayers, I was prompted to ask God,  “Lord, what do you want me to do?” I adopted that approach and discovered that my prayer resembled an attempt to do God’s will rather than my own. Watch the first video below.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

What Happens When I Pray?How to pray? NeedEncouragement.com

I pause and let God speak to me. (I do not hear His audible voice) But I know His word well enough to know His will in different areas of life. That simple question began a new chapter in my prayer life, filled with purposeful surrender. Since then, praying in this manner has become truly meaningful for me. If something is worth worrying about, it is worth praying for.

Prayer, according to the Bible, should be the first resort, not the last, when attempting to solve a problem. “If someone prays for patience, do you think God gives them patience? Or does he allow them to be patient? If someone prayed for courage, does God give him courage, or does he give him opportunities to be courageous? If someone prayed for the family to be closer, do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings, or does God give them opportunities to love each other?” ~ Morgan Freeman.  Matthew 26:41 ~ Bill Greguska
