I pray in all sorts of ways! Always trying to be mindful of God and who I am and what experience I'm having, I am quick to say, "Thank You" whether it's for the open handicap parking place or for not letting me change lanes when there was a car flying by, or for allowing me to find one more can of favorite soup hidden in the panty!

But I do have a routine of praying too, and I follow what others have shared also. First I do pray to God the Father, through the Holy Spirit, in the Name of the Son. (Hope it's okay to say all that.)
Adoration of His mercy and wonderfulness, and for being There for me always. And then I ask Him to keep safe and to bless the people I love, the people they love, and then also the people those people love. (I feel that will help keep the ones I know and love safe and happy.) And I add in the main concerns of my life, and those who had shared with me their concerns to pray about.

I thank Him for what He has given me, and ask for contentment, to change my "want to" to coincide with His wanting me to... And I thank Him for my service dog and ask that He help him learn faster and better.
