How do I pray? I always try to start out with humblness. Note, I said try. Like all sinners I fail, so take that in mind when I explain how I pray. The next thing is I always ask that my prayers be in his will. I am not God, I can not know exactly what is best for me, only he knows. I remember a few years ago that was a hard thing to do. It was scary submitting to something that I thought I might not want.
I have learned though that I can expect the unexpected from God. Sometimes his answers are quick, though I have found that a rare occurrence for me personally. Of course, sometimes his answers are slow. He is developing in me a gigantic pause button, to see and test my faith in him.
I will say I have had a unique experience just lately this past Sun. I had a direct question about an issue, and God answered in Sunday School in verbatim the answer to my question that I originally thought was biblicaly sound. Yes, I am still in awe of God. It took my breath, and it made me realize again the pure power of God.
I stand amazed.
