How should I pray?

Hi guys

Quick question, and something I'm not entirely sure of, how should I pray?

I know it sounds a bit daft, but let me explain where I'm coming from. As a former Catholic, the Our Father and Hail Mary were drilled into me fist of the dragon style as a kid. Later on, having left the Catholic Church, going through a bit of a dark period where I got into stuff like Wicca, voudun and Crowley, i came back to the faith.

When I hear people pray now at my new church, they never say the Lords Prayer, they just seem to make it up as they go along. Sometimes they can go for a good few minutes. Is this OK? are we supposed to pray like this?

Also, how can I tell if I'm doing it right? A lot of people I speak to tell me about hearing a quiet voice talking back to them, yet when I pray, nothing. No answer to prayer, no voice talking back, am I doing it wrong?

Jesus told us to pray to our Father in heaven. Now think about that, He's your Father, and He's my Father.
When I talk to my dad I just talk to him, that's what prayer is, it's a conversation with your Father.....

Just talk to Him. Try it.
