Prayer is communication with God in three Persons. I talk to Him all the time! Often, I hear myself saying, "Good one!" or "what a great idea!" Sometimes my disease makes me extremely frustrated and I just yell at him with my fist in the air.

I've also been writing Him a long letter for years. I write it just like I'd write to a friend ('cuz I am!).

Most of the time though, I admire him, I confess my sins, I thank Him for forgiveness, and I ask for His blessings and comfort for a long list of people.

I learned it this way: ACTS

Adoration
Confession
Thanksgiving
Supplication

If you look up the Lord's Prayer in the Bible, think it in your own words, you'll start to see yourself and your own life in it.

I honestly believe that God would rather have us fumbling for words (H.S. is a great translator) than not communicating with Him at all. He made us all by design and He knows what's in your heart— share together with Him, not at Him.
