- Pray where you are. God is present everywhere and ready to listen.
- Pray, when possible, in a quiet place where you can be alone. It is good to fix your mind deliberately on God, apart from confusing distractions.
- Pray to God simply and naturally, as to a friend. Tell Him what is on our mind. Get help from the prayers of others.
- Pray, remembering the good things God has done for you. Give thanks for all your blessings.
- Pray for God’s forgiveness for the unworthy things you may have done. He is near to a humble and contrite heart.
- Pray especially for those things that will make your life more Christ-like.
- Pray for others, remembering the help they need for the situations they confront.
- Pray for the world in its need and for God to guide you toward ways you can help.
- Pray that God’s will be done in you. His purposes are deeper and wiser than our own.
- Pray and then allow God to answer your prayer.
