Prayer 2

Step 2

  • Spontaneously pray “thank you, help, and wow” prayers

    • When you experience joys, fears, challenges, beauty, or discovery, say a quick prayer to God at that moment

  • Pray at meals as a means of giving thanks to God

  • Set a time for daily prayer

    • Develop a relationship with God by regarding prayer as time together (as with any other relationship)

    • Increase your awareness of God and Jesus in your life

  • Explore different forms of prayer

    • Examples to try:

      • ACTS (Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, Supplication)

      • 5 Finger Prayer: Pray this prayer by yourself or with children

        • Thumb is closest to you, so pray for those who are closest to you

        • Pointer finger to pray for those who point you to God

        • Middle finger is longest, so pray for leaders

        • Ring finger is weakest, so pray for those who are weak and in need

        • Little finger is smallest and represents you, so pray for your needs

      • Talk to God in everyday language
