How Should I be Praying, Anyway??
I am the type of person who thrives on following rules, or systems, or plans. Whatever you want to call them, that’s what I love. If there is a checklist or guide for pretty much anything, I am a happy camper. And, if there aren’t any lists provided, chances are I’ll create my own!
Lately, I have been working on improving my prayer life. Now, some might say to just, ‘go ahead and pray.’ Trust me, I’ve tried that… But, I don’t feel like I really know HOW to pray. After all, I have never actually been taught how to pray. Even growing up in a Catholic elementary school, (where praying occurred every single day – multiple times a day), there was never a class on prayer.
And, while I know Jesus gave us an excellent example in Matthew, I was having some trouble translating that into my daily prayers. So, after realizing I needed some extra help in this area, I decided to do some research and pick up a couple of books.
