God wants us to pray to him
(Jesus said...)

Pray like this:
1. Give us our food for today.
2. Forgive us for what we did wrong, as we forgive others.
3. Keep us from being tempted.
4. Protect us from evil.
5. Give the Holy Spirit to anyone who asks.
6. Send out laborers into his harvest.
7. Pray for those who abuse you.

How to get more from God:
1. Call to him by Name. (Father, Lord, God, Jesus, etc.)
2. Thank him for past help.
3. Confess your recent failures.
4. Forgive those who fail or offend you.
5. Make requests for your needs and others.
6. Mention Jesus' name, death and victory.
7. Ask often.

Jesus' apostles wrote:
Your restoration is what we pray for.
That you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding.
That God may open to us a door for the Message, to declare the mystery about Christ.
That we may see you face to face and supply what is lacking in your faith.
That our God may make you worthy of his calling & by his power.
That the word of the Lord may speed ahead and be honored.
I pray that the sharing of your faith may become effective.
Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray.
Pray for one another, that you may be healed.
If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life.

We do not require:
Go to holy sites.
Mention dead 'saints'.
Employ body posture, hand motions.
Use trinkets, signs or symbols.
Sing, babel, groan
Make promises.
