Learning to pray
Prayer is relationship with God, not performance
You do not need impressive language. Christian prayer grows from knowing God as Father, trusting the Son who brings us near, and depending upon the Holy Spirit who helps God's people pray.
Adoration
Begin with who God is: Father, Son and Holy Spirit — holy, loving, faithful, merciful and sovereign.
Confession
Bring sin honestly before God, trusting His mercy and the saving work of Jesus Christ.
Thanksgiving
Give thanks for God's grace, provision, people, Scripture, the Church and answered prayer.
Supplication
Bring your needs and the needs of others, asking for the wisdom and help of the Holy Spirit.
