Prayer is our direct connection with our living God.  It’s our communication line and one way we strengthen our relationship with God.  Prayer is often thought of as our time to ask God for something, but it’s more than just requests.  Here are few ideas of what to include in your prayer time:

• Thanksgiving and Adoration
  • start with the simple things: life, family, creation
• Listen to God for direction
  • Take time to be still
  • Be open to the Holy Spirit and God’s presence
• Requests are okay too!
  • try asking for understanding and guidance
  • pray for the larger world, community, family, and personal requests

Read Matthew 6:9-13, and remember: God loves YOU unconditionally!
