Prayer is simply communicating with God—an ongoing conversation with the One who knows us and loves us deeply. While prayer may come naturally to some, many of us benefit from having a guide to help us know where to begin and what to talk about.

Use the sections below as a starting point for your time with God. Expand on each section as time allows, and feel free to add any other people, situations, or topics you want to bring before Him. There’s no perfect formula for prayer—just start where you are, take your time, and keep practicing. Start slow, pray often, and enjoy growing deeper in your relationship with God!
