So, I have been coming to this site for quite some time now and one thing that I'm unsure of is how do you pray?

You can't beat the master.

Luk 22:42  Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.


I don't believe that to be a cop out.  Things can only go one way....the way that God has foreknowledge that they will go.  We pray and ask but ask that his will in the situation be done.  If we pray thusly our prayers will always be answered.  And btw I agree with the health and nutrition aspects.  The way I look at it is that I do that which I know to be helpful and it may be that God will use that which I do to give me good health but the result is totally up to him.

Hi noelsjoy, to me prayer is a very personal thing, it takes many forms, formal as when I seek a private place away from all distractions and speak to Him... usually it's casual, more of a talking to Him during the course of the day at any time with whatever pops in my mind... an urgent request is when, for whatever reason, you cry out to God for help, maybe not even articulated well, He knows. But I think it is extremely important to reach out to God and prayer is the means to do so, we should take every and any concern to Him as much and as often as we feel concerned.

Psalms 55:22  Cast your burden on the LORD, And He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.

Heb 4:16  Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

I believe that pray and meditation is one way we get to know our God... He speaks to us as we speak to Him. I really like to dwelling on God and the work He is doing as much as I can, I prefer that to most other worldly preoccupation that usually comes to mind. When we have our minds on spiritual things, then that crowds out worries, negative thoughts and other worldly matters. It takes a concerted effort to control what you are thinking on and cast out negative thinking and not let it overwhelm you, because it is true that "as he thinks in his heart, so is he" (Pro 23:7).

2Cor 10:5  casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,

mercy, peace and love
