Hi there! I'm tentatively swaying towards Christ after about 5 years of pretty solid agnosticism. I've come here to wheedle you kind folks with questions about the faith until you get tired of my nagging and throw me out of town. Until then, I look forward to talking with you.
OH! And here's a question: How is one supposed to pray? I've been trying to pray lately, and all I've been doing is, well... talking to God. Standing there in empty and silent rooms and addressing God in plain speech, being honest, acknowledging that I didn't know if He's real or if I'm just talking to myself, asking to know Him better, asking for faith if faith is mandatory, asking for guidance. Sometimes it has a tremendous emotional effect on me, and sometimes I don't feel much of anything, but I know that I like it. I just want to make sure that I'm doing it right. Is there any procedure that I'm supposed to be following?
But yeah, nice to meet y'all!

Reading the bible helps tune your ears to God's will. God bless.
The Christian experience begins with repentance. You must come to the understanding that you are a sinner and that you need a savior. This idea should dominate your thoughts and prayers. You also need to put yourself in the way of Gods grace, by making use of the means of grace regularly. Things like going to church, studying your Bible, praying often and helping others with your time and money.
