How to Pray?

Pop into a church when passing, if only for a few minutes, and say "Hi Lord, it's jus' me popping in to say hello. Can't stay long but thanks for all You're doing in my life. Luv Ya Lord and thanks a million for loving me back. This is Your day, help me to put it to good use for Your Glory. Look out for all my gang Lord - my family, my workmates, my school buds, my brothers and sisters in community, our church leaders, our national leaders and all those world leaders whose decisions affect so many lives. Thank You Lord, coz I know You listen to every prayer whispered to You in confidence and trust. Bye Lord, catch You later."

When we see God as a familiar person in our lives we speak to Him as we would to a good pal. We begin to become comfortable with Him, at the same time retaining our love and respect of Him.

The car is a great place to pray and imagine the improvement in road rage incidents if drivers were praying instead of 'boiling over'!

Little prayer groups are really lovely and they can be as formal or informal as you want them to be. Moms can arrange 'coffee prayer sessions' to pray together for their children. Students can get together at some stage of the day. Dads can get the guys together every now and again and pray for their families, their jobs and careers and the usual men's worries this bad old world throws at us!

Constantly on my mind are prisoners who need prayers and who need to pray. Pray quietly in your cells or get a few of you together in a little group. In your own words and your own time, but with hearts and minds focussed on the One who loves you above all else. You are all His prodigal sons and daughters and He's waiting for you to turn back to Him. Oh, the joy He gets when you do!

The office or workplace is a brilliant place to see the power of prayer in action. It might be a little more difficult unless it is that short prayers are the norm and it takes a brave person to suggest prayer with colleagues before a day's work but once started it's amazing the changes that come about in the workplace.

Prayer last thing at night and first thing in the morning is a lovely way to start and end a day, and God Bless those who still kneel and pray at their bedside!

One of the nicest places to pray is out in the middle of God's nature, sitting on a beach or in a meadow, beside a river or lake, at the foot of a mountain or on its peak.

Another great way to pray is when out exercising or jogging. Instead of having the walkman plugged in, plug into God.

Every one has their own way, time and place. God Bless you and your place, wherever it may be.
