I'm not formally religious but I still wonder sometimes about the power of prayer. I'd like to try it myself but have never understood how to do it, so I have not.
Every so often when someone brings prayer to my attention I ask for practical technical advice but have never managed to get anything which worked. When I was a little kid the school religious assemblies told us we had to close our eyes and put our hands together. This never did anything for me I used to stand there thinking "now what?" and "why am I doing this."
So any advice welcome but if you are offering then please keep it real. In the past people have actually given me woowoo like "open your heart" which they obviously don't mean literally as I would bleed to death. TIA.
Prayer is simply having a conversation with our Father. Tell Him what’s on your heart and mind even though He already knows.Thank Him for everything He has done in your life (especially the things you don’t know about). You will begin to see your life change as your relationship with Him grows and deepens.
Prayed. Will do again.
At one point in my life I thought God was a thing, but not THE thing. I never gave prayer a thought.
Now, prayer brings me peace- because I know it is powerful and I know it has impact. Thank you Lord for calling me back to You.
I just prayed with the spouse. I prayed for their protection and success.
I read your response wrong at first... But I'm glad. Because of that I have realized that the loved ones of those in the trenches also need prayers.
