If you've never done it before, where do you start to learn to pray? Prayer isn't about saying special formulas, it's about being real about your situation and letting God listen in. In my squidoo lens given at the bottom of this post you will find the first prayer is very simple in its approach to God. God wants us to be honest and truthful with him about how things are going for us. He doesn't want long words and flowery phrases, he wants you to tell it like it is. Tell him how you feel, when you can tell no one else. He will listen and in his own way answer, but you may have to wait a while and trust. Some of my prayers have taken decades to be answered,and sometimes in strange ways, but I am happier now than I have ever been. A prayer for every day
First of all thanks to Fat Prophet for your interest. I see from your blog you are having trouble commenting. To get back to my assessed service. Criticism albeit constructive is harder for some to take than others. I felt a little crushed after my assessed service but then remembered I had recorded it on my dictaphone. I listened to it all through and although my assessors were quite right about me speaking a little quickly and rushing from item to item, I was actually very pleased with the content of my sermon and how I presented it. So I have decided to take heart. I highly recommend other trainees to record your services. You can hear your good points and your bad and there is no argument about it, it is all caught on the recorder.
