How do Christians pray?
Christians pray by talking to God. They tell God what is on their mind and in their heart. They ask God for things they need or want. And they thank God for the good things in their life.
Prayer is a conversation with God. It is not like talking to a wall or to yourself. When you pray, you are talking to a real person—God—who knows you and loves you. He wants to talk to you, too.
The best way to learn how to pray is to read what Jesus and his followers said in the Bible. The Bible is full of examples of prayer. You can also find many good books about prayer at your local Christian bookstore or online.
If you have never prayed before, here is a simple prayer to start with:
Dear God, Thank you for loving me. Thank you for sending Jesus to die for my sins.
Please forgive me for the things I have done wrong. I am sorry for sinning.
I know that I need your help to stop sinning. Please help me to obey you and to do what is right.
Please bless my family, friends, and others who are important to me.
Please help me to love them and to treat them the way you want me to.
Please help me to serve you and to tell others about Jesus.
Thank you for hearing me. Amen.
