Prayer Is Relational Pattern
- Prayer is not just reciting words but following a pattern reflecting a spiritual life.
- This pattern begins with relating to God as a loving Father, not a distant force.
Start Prayer with Relationship
- Begin prayer by recognizing God as your loving Father, calling Him 'Abba' with affection.
- Keep your relationship with God personal and full of love, not just formal ritual.
Rejoice and Praise God Often
- Spend time rejoicing and praising God during prayer, even in difficult moments.
- Use psalms or gospel music to help express thankfulness and glorify God.
