The more I build my relationship with Jesus and God the more I begin to realize things that I should do more often. Things like praying. But I’ve never really prayed much before. How do I pray?
Sometimes I feel ashamed that I don’t pray enough and that I don’t really know how to pray. I try to remind myself to pray everyday, a few times a day. I forget to pray before I eat. I forget to pray before I sleep. And when I do pray, I don’t know what to say. Sometimes it’s hard for me to find the words to say. I know God is listening but I want to be able to pray without pausing or having to figure out what to pray for as I’m praying.
I’ve thought about writing down things I should pray for everyday and then writing down special things i should pray for when needed. Maybe this will help me pray better and more often.
I want to pray better and often to God because he has given me this great life and lead me on the path to Jesus Christ. Without him I would be lost continuing the downward spiral I was on. But he showed me the light and led me out of that darkness and I have Him to thank for everything.
