Could someone tell me how to pray?

I would like to pray to god,but I don't know how to start like:my dear god...

When you first start praying it will seem like an effort, and actually it is a discipline. One that gets easier the more you do it. Jesus gave us the example in Matthew, as was stated earlier, maybe someone will give the chapter and verse, as I don't have time to right now, and can't remember the location. He prayed to the Father, so do I, in the name of Jesus, because Jesus made things right, so we could go to the Father.

There is no right nor wrong way to pray, so, don't worry about making a mistake. I normally always bring thanks to the Lord, for something that he has done, or just thanks that I am alive, and able to praise him. Thanks for creating me, and giving me life, thanks for loving me and forgiving me, and delivering me from evil, thanks for opening up his word to me, and helping me to understand it, thanks for his protection, direction, provision, and for every good and perfect gift that comes from above.

Lastly, I bring my petitions, and I always end in thanksgiving.

Again, you will develop your own style of praying, so, take ideas that are offered, and implement your own, always listening for the small still voice of the spirit to help you, and you may be given an intercessory spirit, that will pray thru you, when the spirit wants something done. Or you may not. Each of us have an idividual walk with the Lord, we all have giftings and abilities, that are from him, and that is one of the wonderful things about God, he is so diverse. Nothing is ever dull and boring about him, if it is, it is religion.. man made.

The spirit is alive, and brings life to all he touches. Your spirit will learn how to communicate with him. It is also good to pray scripture back to him, showing him that you trust his word, believe it, and depend upon him to bring it to pass in your life.

Please feel free to funmail me anytime.

God Bless...

Well, there is no "real" way to pray to God, and there is no right or wrong. I am Jewish, so we say most of our prayers in hebrew, but the translation would be something like "Please dear God thank you for this wonderful meal of which you bestow upon us, and we ask and thank you for your blessings. Amen" You can pray about anything, anytime and anywhere! Good luck, and keep believing!

I sent you information in your Funmail - God bless you !!

Pray anyway you want to. There's no right or wrong way and if there IS a God, then he, she or it should be able to read your thoughts or hear what you say anyway, right?

If you're thanking him, say 'Thank you' and if you want something, ask for it, I guess. Like if you are asking to make someone who's sick, well.

As far as how you address God, then 'Dear God' has always been the standard, I think..

Personally, I think that praying is mostly for the benefit of the person doing it.anyway.

1463: the answer will depend on what religion you are. Muslims, Jews and Christians have their own differences.

If you are Christian The Lord's Prayer was presented in Matthew as an example of how to pray.

Why dont you become an athiest and then you won't have to worry about praying. Simple!

When I asked that exact question, many years ago...a wonderful person told me to start out saying "please" in the morning...and "thankyou" at night.

He promised praying would eventually become an intregal part of my life...and he was right!

Theres not a real way, if you go to a church, and you really are serious about committing your life to God, then you can be saved. They will pray a prayer with you and you will feel a rush of happiness. Trust me it happened to me , and I was amazed.
If you have any questions, you can ask me.. no question is dumb, or obvious.
Don't be afraid, just ask (:
And there really isn't a "way" to pray.
Just talk to God, he's there and he'll listen.
AND NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO, HE WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU (:
peace <3

You say, "Please Lord, send Domzilla a sign as to what the winning mega millions jackpot numbers are going to be." that is how you pray ;> just say that every day and if and when I win I'll send you some money. Just playing lol. Honestly you just pray for Gods will to be done and thank him for providing for you the the things in life that you need, such as food and shelter. Thats it just his will, never your own.

there is nt realy wrong way to pray just talk t ogod like you talk to your friends

Like angelkissesone has said, there isn't a specifc/right way to pray to god!! praying to him should simply be like talking to one of your friends!! God is there to listen to whatever your heart needs to pour out!! wheather your in need of something or just wanting to thank him!! god is there for you, 24/7 =)

There is no certain way to pray! Just talk to him!

there isnt a way necerly that you have to pray just talk to him and he will listen!!!

If you are a christian just tell god your thoughts and feelings and anything you need help with or want to be thankful for. Just basically have a chat. Or if you feel that is too informal, say the lord's prayer ( our father ) or any other prayers you know. I f youn don't know any, I'm sure you could look them up on the net.

hahhaha I had the same problem I had no ideabut then I realized JUST TALK TO HIM LIKE YOU WOULD ANY ONE ELSE

REMEMEBR HES YOUR FATHER THAT MEANS DAD!!!
you can just say :DEAR FATHER blah blah blah blah

"times are hard or this girl is really mean or help me to get to know you better or you can just simply thank him for ALLL the things he has done for you./

There are many different ways to pray. All prayers are done with the deepest respect, love and sincerity to Him who Created us.

It depends on what you are praying about. If it is to give your heart to Him you must ask Him to forgive you of your sins mentioning some of the worst ones then you must ask God into your heart. Give Him complete reign over you...put Him in the "drivers seat" of your life. Allow Him to lead you into all truth. He will if you allow Him to do so.

When I pray I kneel most of the time; I feel more reverent and closer to Him when I do this. . . I do it out of love for Him.

Always put God first in your life, others second, and yourself last. This way you will empty yourself allowing God to lead you into all His truths and His wisdom.

The way I start a prayer is "Oh dear Heavenly Father, Lord God Almighty. During the prayer I call Him by name, Lord Jesus, Father Creator of all...

If you would like to fun mail me I'll do whatever I can to answer any question you may have. God bless you.

yes, why dont you go to matthew and read the Lords prayer, Jesus teaches His disciples how He would like you to pray, but remember, He is your Father, He is you Friend, just talk to Him like Hes your best friend and you two are just chillin, its fun!

For starters say Dear Heavenly father, I thank thee for this beautiful day and then say whatever is in your heart.
Hope this helps.

just be relaxed while talking to god and say what is in your heart.there is no special way to pray because he is your first father and god will welcome you and will live in your heart

Just talk to him like he was sitting next to you
