Prayer is simple. God created you, loves you, and is waiting for you to talk to him.
Find a place that you can be quiet and talk to God. Talk to him about what is most on your heart and listen to him.
This is the simple heart of prayer and all prayers begin here.
What is a good place? Somewhere that is free of distractions for you. Some people like to be in a quiet place indoors. Others like to go for a walk or sit somewhere outdoors. Find out what ways work best for you.
