Pray first, pray often, pray always
Begin by acknowledgment and praise
Our Father who art in Heaven
Blessed and holy is thy name!
He is Lord and, as such,
We should treat him the same
Once we have done this we can begin
To open our hearts that we might listen
Thy Kingdom come Thy Will be done
Come to him in humble surrender
Ask him your questions, ask him to reveal
What He desires for us to feel
Open our eyes to recognize
Your love as your word comes alive
In our hearts and in our souls
After this we come to a place
Of forgiveness, repentance and grace
Forgive us our sins as we ourselves
Forgive those who are in debt to us
Lord, we pray, bless our foes
Make them Holy and happy
Forgive me Lord, I bought the lie
That you did not know as well as I
What was best for me and for my good
I see now that I was wrong
And I should've listened all along
I beg your grace to follow still
And the strength to do your will
Finally, ask God to bless your life
Pray for others who are in strife
Believe that God will hear and answer
If he overcame death, he can overcome cancer
Give us, this day, our daily bread
Lord of life, please keep us fed
Ask, seek, knock, and pray
To the Life, the Truth and the Way
Pray first: ask what God wants you to pray for
Pray often: pray daily and be faithful to it
Pray and fast: it focuses our mind and our heart
Pray always: pray without ceasing
Be patient and persistent; do not lose heart
Like a friend or doctor, make an appointment
Make a time and keep it Holy and Blest
Do your part and God will provide the rest
Partially inspired by a book "Appointment With God" about prayer and ways to pray. Referencing Luke 11: 1-4
