Have you heard of the Jesus Prayer? You connect your prayer to the rhythm of your breathing, and keep it simple. (Inhale) Jesus... (exhale) forgive. I usually use 'Father God...

Sometimes I try to remember the acronyms (like the one mentioned by Mrs. Gamgee) so that I am not always just telling God what's wrong with me or a situation, etc...but so I will remember to praise him and show love towards him in my words. <br><br>Sometimes when I am reading his word, I will pray in that way.

There is a little old-fashioned hardware store near me that sells the coolest (and silkiest) yarns, and I'm dying to buy some, but I keep thinking I need to just use the million skeins of yarn I have at home first. I definitely need to find a project that I can FINISH for once. I think it's a great idea to pick projects for YOU instead of the endless train of baby things.Sarahhttp://callmemama.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3547119864200662623.post-32947672206941421802010-01-18T07:49:07.000-06:002010-01-18T07:49:07.000-06:00I don't think there is a right or wrong way to...I don't think there is a right or wrong way to pray, as long as you do it. I, personally, have a variety of ways that I pray, depending on the situation, my mood, what's going on & where I am. Sometimes (like when I have a problem or question) I just talk to Him. I also like to have a conversation when I'm in my car.

Good luck!<br><br>I'm excited to read about your spiritual journey and growth. As far as prayer, I like to pray as talking to a friend (yet with reverence as well), bringing my praise, thanksgiving, and requests to the Lord.

Sometimes I just sit and have a conversation with God. Other times I have several books that I use. They include readings about saints and then include bible passages followed by questions. I then pick a question and journal about it.
