Prayer

If you find hard to pray, you may follow the Lord’s prayer in Matthew 6:9-13.

⁹ ‘This, then, is how you should pray:
‘ “Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
¹⁰ your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
¹¹ Give us today our daily bread.
¹² And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
¹³ And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.”

The book of Psalms is a good reference for prayer because it shows examples of prayers.

The prayer could be done using your audible voice (as opposed to silence) especially if you find it helps you pray. Rather be concise than keep on babbling (see Matthew 6:7-8).

The prayer may include repentance, thanks, and praises.

You could tell God about various issues, and (recent) incidents you concern about.

You could pray for others (intercession).

# Many verses including John 16:23 teach us to pray “in the name of Jesus”.
