A Formula for Prayer

Jesus is Here (Matthew 18:19-20 )

Help me, Lord ( James 5:13-16)

Thank you , Lord ( Philippians 4:4-7)

Help my brother ( Mark 11:22-25)

This is one of many suggestions for guiding our prayer life. There really is no right way, this is just a suggestion. The key, I think is to place yourself( mindset) in the presence of God. Think of Christ as standing at your side, sharing your experience.

These ideas came from a book on prayer that I have been reading by Philip Yancey
"Prayer: Does it Make Any Difference"

So, is it ok to only say... Help me Lord... It seems like when I'm overwhelmed, that is all I can say.

You are getting the blog thing down... keep it up! R
