Walking with God.

Praying

“Don’t worry over anything whatever; tell God every detail of your needs in earnest and thankful prayer, and the peace of God…will keep constant guard over your hearts and minds…”
Philippians 4:6-7 (J.B. Phillips)

To follow Jesus, we seek (as He did) to be in communication with our Father. While our prayers never tell God anything new, a habit of prayer pleases Him – because His very nature is to desire relationship with those whom He has created. He wants to hear our hearts, and delights in speaking to us.

First Steps & Top Tips

  1. Be realistic, start with what you can achieve

  2. Establish a regular time that fits well with the pattern of your life; choose a quiet place

  3. It may help to write down a plan – perhaps starting with praise, worship and thanks; saying sorry for what you’ve got wrong; and asking your Father for His help in your and others’ areas of need.

  4. Keeping a list will help you to track answered prayer.

  5. Some people find it helps to sit opposite an empty chair, and picture Jesus there.

  6. Try to keep a little time just to be still and to “listen”. Write down what you hear.
