How Do You Pray?

 So, I'm talking a class one evening a week at my church entitled,

Communion with God: An Introduction to Prayer.

We have only met once and it was pretty much an introduction of what the outline of this class would cover.

On thing really stood out to me in the outline.

It was this;

We don't often talk about how we talk to others.

We talk to them.

We talk about them.

People in general often have doubtful thoughts about prayer.

Am I doing it right?

Am I using the correct words?

What can I tell Him?

Will he hear me?

Is it wrong to ask God to help me lose 5 more pounds :-) ?

I don't have a lot of prayer knowledge,

its why I'm taking the class.

However I do pray, always have, and I was one who really didn't spend much time wondering if I was doing it "right".

When I pray, I talk to God in the same manner I would talk to you. 

I don't use fancy words, it's never scripted.
For example I do not say tho, thy, shall I, or shall we

and 

I don't add ' eths ' at the end of my words.

Cometh, giveth, doeth, goeth !

I talk to God as my forever friend, my forever companion. 

He accepts me as I am, with the form of language I speak....

He's knows I don't use "Bible speak".

So, there is no need to change how I speak when I speak with Him.

Yes, He hears every word

He knows what I ask before I ask it!

So why ask?

If He's my friend, my companion, my Heavenly Father

then

why wouldn't I talk to him?

 My husband knows I love him,

he still wants to hear it.....

It tells him our relationship matters to me.

Looking forward to digging deeper into what is and isn't important 

when it comes to praying..what I can do to improve it.

By the way, yes, I can ask Him to help me lose those 5 more pounds !

This is what echos from my heart today...................
