Pray
Prayer is the way that we communicate with God.
Tonight, we did a form of the Acts prayer method (Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, Supplication).
There are many ways to pray, but if you need some help, here are some tips.
1. Make a plan
Plan a time and place to pray. You plan your day. Why not your pray?
2. Remove distractions
Get alone. Turn off your phone. Have a piece of paper to write down unrelated thoughts to get them off your mind.
3. Get a partner
Pray with others. Get help and encouragement through communal prayer.
4. Listen to others pray
Learn to pray better by listening to others pray.
5. Develop a system
Use a pray app. Here is an app I (John) use when I pray. Use note cards. A journal. A notebook. Write down details like who, what, and when. Record answers to prayer to see how God is working.
6. Use variety in prayer
Mix prayer up with praise, confession, request, and thanksgiving. Use different methods and variety to keep from making prayer rote.
7. Pray until you pray
You may not feel like you are into prayer. Keep praying. It will come.
