How to pray at end of prayer meeting?

Prayer is simply a Word used to describe talking with God. Nothing all that fancy about it.

How do we initiate conversations with friends or family? It's like that. What God wants from us is honesty and faith. Prayers that are nothing more than repetition of Words do not impress God. Would they impress you if you were God? I imagine you'd get pretty tired of hearing the same Words day after day for two thousand years.


In Hebrews it is written "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists, and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him" (Hebrews 11:6). Honesty and faith. By praying to God one exhibits faith, and by being open and honest one shows their earnestness in seeking Him. This is prayer that honors and pleases God.


Start by telling God about your day. Tell Him you love Him, if it's true. If you are upset with Him, tell Him so. Be real. Do be respectful. After all, He is God. Jesus, in the prayer now called "The Lord's Prayer" started with worship "...hallowed be thy name..." I try to start out respectfully and give Him the credit He is due.
