What is the correct way to pray ? What is the correct music to listen to ? Are we supposed to read out loud or in private ?
Paul taught us to pray constantly (1 Thess 5:17). Have a conversation with him all day, every day.

There are all kinds of ways to pray, Jesus did give a model of prayer (The Lords Prayer), but that is not the only way to pray. Nowhere in God word does it say to listen to music, The Word does tell us to sing. Ephesians 5:19, but I do not think there is any thing wrong with listening to music, I prefer to listen to contemporary Christian music. I would imagine that other music would be acceptable to God as long as it does not glorify evil or sin, which a lot of secular music does. You should read the Bible anywhere and everywhere both in private and public.

But do you read out loud ? Does it make a difference to the experience ?
