I had the wrong focus. If were worried about praying “correctly,” then were missing the point of prayer. Prayer is all about relationship building. Depending on whether you had a positive or negative relationship with your earthly father, you might need to clear the slate when you think about talking to your Heavenly Father. Think of someone who is easy to talk to and do the same with God. Youre getting to know Him when you are talking, listening, and spending time with Him. I like to keep record of what I can be praying in my own life or for others. It shows me God’s faithfulness in how prayers are answered in His timing. You can do this with note cards, in a journal, or on the “notes” section of your phone. My sister, Alexie, likes to keep her journal by her bed so that she can pray in the morning and evening for people. Use a method that reminds you to be praying regularly. Romans 12:12 says, “Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.” Im learning to pray throughout each day as God brings people to mind, and its such a blessing to know He is listening.
