How to Pray
Praying is having a conversation with God. If you're not sure how to pray, follow the seven-step prayer process below taken from Matthew Kelly's "The Four Signs of a Dynamic Catholic" which you can order for free by clicking here.
1. Gratitude
Begin by thanking God in a personal dialogue for whatever you are most grateful for today.
2. Awareness
Revisit the times in the past twenty-four hours when you were and were not the-best-version-of-your-self. Talk to God about these situations and what you learned from them.
3. Significant Moments
Identify something you experienced in the last twenty-four hours and explore what God might be trying to say to you through that event (or person).
4. Peace
Ask God to forgive you for any wrong you have committed (against yourself, another person, or Him) and to fill you with a deep and abiding peace.
5. Freedom
Speak with God about how He is inviting you to change your life, so that you can experience the freedom to be the-best-version-of-yourself.
6. Others
Lift up to God anyone you feel called to pray for today, asking God to bless and guide them.
