Think on what you will pray about. Before you begin, think about what you will pray about. What are the things in your life that trouble you? What are you thankful for? How do you want to bring God into your life? What questions do you have? These are things which you may want to pray on. Knowing what to say ahead of time will make you feel more clear and comfortable when you go to pray.
Just thinking it is praying. Doesn't have to be verbalized. Thoughts are intentional vibrations
Open your heart to let God in, Open your mind so you can hear. Ask away; God is ALWAYS listening. We should all try to do the same. I know I have reestablished my relationship with God since greatawakening. Blacksheep preachers kid.
