Pray where you are. God is present everywhere and ready to listen.
Pray when possible in a quiet spot where you can be alone. It is well to fix your mind deliberately on God, apart from confusing distractions.
Pray to God simply and naturally as a friend. Tell him what is on your mind. Get help from the prayers of others.
Pray remembering the good things God has done for you. Count up your blessings from time to time and give thanks for them.
Pray for God’s forgiveness for the unworthy things you may have done. He is always ready to listen to a humble and contrite heart.
Pray for the things you need, especially those that will make your life more Christ-like.
Pray for others, remembering the situations they face and the help they need.
Pray for the world and its needs, asking God to bring better things and offering your help to Him.
Pray for everything else that God’s will be done in you and in the world.
Pray and then start helping God to answer your prayers.
