How to Pray
These suggestions directly come from The Scriptures themselves:
"But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your
Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret,
will reward you."
Matthew 6:6
"And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think
they will be heard because of their many words."
Matthew 6:7
"And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive
him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins."
Mark 11:25
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and
petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God."

Lastly, if you are not sure how to pray, or cannot think of the words to
use, remember these words of Paul to the Romans:
"We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the
Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express"
