Many wonder how to say a prayer? First, we must understand that prayer is a request addressed to God. To pray a prayer we need to have faith, that is, we have to pray trusting that God is attentive to our prayer. He will answer the prayer of the helpless, and he will not despise their prayer. (Psalm 102:17)
There are several models that teach us how to say a prayer, and we’ll describe the simplest ways to talk to God daily.
First model of how to say a prayer:
The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven; Give us this day our daily bread; And forgive us our debts, just as we forgive our debtors; And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil; for thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forevermore. Amen. (Matthew 6:9-13)
This is the simplest model of prayer and also the model that our Lord Jesus Christ left as an example for each one of us.
Second example of how to say a prayer.
In this second example, we will also use a simple way of talking to God. Where we will simply express what we want, as if we were speaking respectfully to a person.
Lord God Almighty, I know I am small, but I come into your great presence. First thank you for everything.
I come here too, oh God to express my needs before You, for I am entirely dependent on Your care.
The Lord knows all my needs, as well as my afflictions, at this moment I place in your hands my afflictions, my needs, my family, my children and all those around me.
I also ask you to bless my health, my sentimental life, my spiritual life and make in me, oh God, your will and your will. In the name of Jesus Amen!
Theabove is a simple example of a prayer, made randomly, that is, when we set out to God all our needs. Note that this prayer is similar to a dialogue with a person, and that’s really it, because God’s holy spirit is harvesting all our prayers and leading them to God.
Perhaps you are wondering, how can I say a prayer if I have never prayed? Actually talking to God and entering his presence is something simpler than it may seem, because God is not interested in whether you speak beautifully or not, whether your oratory is good or not, but yes, God is interested in hearing the words most sincere of your heart.
For this reason, if at the moment you say a prayer, you feel like crying, cry, for God cannot resist a broken and contrite heart, and He Himself will wipe away all the tears from our face.
Prayer can be spoken or even prayed silently, and the more you talk to God, the more intimacy you will have with him.
Prayer has the power to make sickness disappear, people set free, and make the impossible become possible. And whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive. Matthew 21:22
