Hi Cute Miao,

You know, prayer is just basically talking to God.

It is best to pray earnestly as how your spirit pray. You can also ask for the Holy Spirit to help you to pray before you start your prayer.
Prayer is best lead by the Holy Spirit in you and thus there is no rule how long or fast a prayer should be.
Don't feel bad if it's too short or the words spoken doesn't seem to sound good.
What is important is that your prayers is genuine and just truly earnest with nothing to hide.
I mean if you're angry, express it in prayer, if you're sad and disappointed, express that out too.

You know why? By putting methodology on how to pray in the morning or night, we create our own rules,
And thus It can be in a way become ritualistic, praying for the sake of praying (robotic) rather than praying earnestly or in Spirit and in Truth.

Hope this helps a bit if not at least.

God Bless.

hi hi

allow me to jump in. Have you received JESUS as saviour ? if you look at WWJD thread and look how megatron123 hated about GOD ? most likely megatron was genuine then devil bullied him to impress that prayer is not working.

atheist cannot differentiate between HS (Holy Spirit) and other spirit so we concern that when you pray, you have some experience, you think from Holy Spirit, but actually devil deceived you.

Only people that received JESUS as savior can differentiate between which one is HS and which one is not. Then from that, prayer life can grow.

Morning, pray for Wisdom, Protection, Grace, etc that sort of thing.

Night, Just spend quiet time talking to God about your day.

If you want format of Prayer, I'm sure you know Jesus already laid that out.
You can use that as an example but let it flow naturally with the Spirit.
Matthew 6 (NIV)
9“This, then, is how you should pray:

“ ‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,

10 your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.

11 Give us today our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.

13 And lead us not into temptation,a
but deliver us from the evil one. ’

The format basically teaches us to

1. First Address and Recognize the Sovereign Power and Authority of God. Hallowed be your name means Great in Power and Sovereign is your Name. When we understand this, it should put us at ease to have faith that things will not fall apart or that there will be random mishap. (Ver9)

2. Learn to be submissive to God and trust that He knows best...YOUR Kingdom come, YOUR WILL be done. (ver 10)

3. Know that you have a Right to ask for your daily bread AKA your daily need in life. This is not food mind you but everything you need in life. Can be anything, in your work place, at home, personal...Anything and Everything. (ver 11)

4. Learn to be forgiving and really...what I mean Forgive is You can remember the hurt but you can FORGET about holding on to it in grudge. Let go. If you hold on to grudges and unforgiveness, it stifle your prayer and Christian life (ver 12)

5. Last but not least you CAN pray asking the Father to spare you from testings. I know in the Christian community, we all learn that testings are meant to build us up, even though painful but here Jesus teaches us that WE CAN ask God to spare us from trials, testings. You know why? We can do so much more when everything is at peace. (ver 13)
There you go, hope it helps you.

Wsup Dude.

So early in the morning to post this?

you're student or working?

If God can give you the strength not to be a "devil"

Will you welcome that?

The Christian life is not so much about Law..what you can do or cannot do that will commit sin.

It has to do with how you threat people. I mean Jesus was very concern on that.

In real life or forum is the same.

Well, if he can take it as a joke, I think it's alright. Wanie404 always says bodo to almost everyone, I don't get angry when he/she says it to me.

but if the person you feel has taken offense then we just back off and stop lor.

Jesus says 1 thing very profound. If you let Love be the foundation of your life, all these rules laws does not matter.
