There is no right or wrong in prayer.

God will understand, no matter what method you choose or which words you use.

when you have quiet time, just bow your head and speak as if Jesus was right there with you, and pray from the heart. Remember, He already knows what your going to say, but He wants to hear from you personally!

Hello Ramon Prayer is all about you talking to Jesus on your own terms based upon your own unique personality. Communicating to God with questions and true feelings from your own mind: not looking for formulas and strategies that another person may use. Use your own personal feelings and thoughts when talking to God; be the unique person you are with him - that is why God created you to be unique. The only other suggestion I would share is to study all the scriptures in the bible that has the word prayer.. God will communicate with you in your mind and teach you more about prayer based upon your own direct bible study and relationship with the Holy Spirit in your mind. There is no better book to study on prayer than the Bible itself. People use so much time studying books, tapes, CD‘s and DVD’s about the bible but don’t take time to study the Bible itself. I don’t know if this applies to you are not. Just making a general statement. I hope this strengthens your prayer life Be Blessed and evolve in Christ

Hi Ramon; There is no exact prayer that you should say but you should speak to God as you would speaking to a good parent or grandparent. Jesus did give us an example of what to do and what not to do; but remember this is a general example. Here is what the Bible has to say when Jesus was asked this question.

Mat 6:5 ¶ And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites [are]: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

Mat 6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

Mat 6:7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen [do]: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

Mat 6:8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

Mat 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

Mat 6:10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as [it is] in heaven.

Mat 6:11 Give us this day our daily bread.

Mat 6:12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

Mat 6:13
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Again this is a general example or guideline.

So God Bless You! Ramon
