A practical way of doing this is to take some time out to write down a prayer about something we want our Father’s help in and then to pray it regularly.
I was inspired to do this myself by Peter Adam. Have a skim read here to see how he has structured his morning prayers.
When it comes to prayer one thing that can’t be said enough is “we’re all different”! I’m not suggesting any of us copy Peter in writing prayers in the same style or length as he does, rather let’s think how can we – in our own way – grow in praying thoughtful, God centred prayers.
