Remember, prayer is how we get close to God. First we tell Him how we feel about everything in our lives, and also, listen to what He says to us while we are in prayer.

Forgive me if I just add something here and it is considered out of place. I'm new and not sure how each forum is set out.
I've discussed prayer on different sites and people see it differently, and some use one type or a combination of prayer types. For example some set aside either once or afew times a day to pray alone. Some pray set prayers, some make up prayers as the need arises. I guess I mostly send up arrow prayers all through the day. Anything I see, things people tell me, tv and radio and on christian sites on the prayer forums.
I think we all need to find the way that works for us, and look internally at whether it is helping us in our relationship daily with Jesus Christ. What works for us, may not work for others, and we must see their ways as just as legitimate and loving.
God bless all of our family at christianforums, Paul.
