When you think of how to pray, the most important consideration is to be sincere.
When you’re ready to pray, start by addressing God. Take some time to thank Him for the good things in your life, and then ask Him for the things you need. When you’re finished, close the prayer with “In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.”
This is the time to be intentional—whether you need healing from an illness, guidance on a tough decision, or want to know that God really is there, the first step is to ask sincerely. Praying out loud can help focus your prayers.
