How Do I Pray?

Did you know that praying is how we talk to God? It’s true and that’s why it’s important to learn how to do it well! Think about that for a second. Some people might think the coolest person they could ever talk to is the President or a famous athlete. Even though that would be cool, having the ability to talk to the God of the universe is the coolest thing ever! So, let’s learn how to pray the right way. Let’s think of it with the letters P-A-L. Do you know what that spells? Pal! Think of prayer like talking to your pal, God. P stands for praise. When you pray, start with thanking God for all that he’s done in your life. The A means ask. Spend time asking God for help. He wants to hear your prayer requests.The L is for listen. We should take time to listen to God. God always has an answer for us. It may not always be what we asked for, but he knows what’s best. Our job is to listen and obey. Another great way to hear from God is reading the Bible and doing what it says. Remember, the Bible is full of God’s truth that tells us how to live. So, remember how cool it is to pray to God and pray like a PAL!
