Many Christians are uncomfortable with prayer. They think their words must be perfect but that simply is not true. God knows the status of your heart and He knows what is on your mind. He just wants to hear from you. He longs for you to speak to Him.
Here's a trick to make it easier to begin a prayer conversation with God. Using the Lord's Prayer as a guide, Lysa TerKeurst provides these prompts for helping you write your own personal prayer.
Lord, I praise you for...
Help me do your will by...
Lord, I need...
Please forgive me for...
And help me forgive...
I am struggling with... Please help me to stand firm.
For You alone are Lord and I give You all the Glory.
Amen
After you have written your own prayer, change it each day as life happens and as you start to recognize more clearly, God's presence in your life. It won't take long before you are having intimate conversations with Him throughout your day... and without any notes to help you along. It will be the most natural thing in the world.
Blessings,
LeAnn
