When I wanted to know a deeper way to talk with My Heavenly Father, I joined a Bible study at church about prayer. There I learned two very helpful guides which have also been preached many times since.
#1) Our Father in Heaven, hallowed be Your Name, Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us today our daily bread and forgive us our debts as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from the evil one. (Matthew 6:9-13)
*Recognize Who I am talking to, petitioning to Wow!
*Always, always, His will first and foremost, above all, because His will is way better than I can imagine.
*Fill my heart and mind with Your truth, Your Word above anything in this world.
*Please forgive me of my sin, seen and unseen. Open my ignorant head to the unseen so I would repent and stop making the same wrong doings.
*Fill my heart with grace and mercy towards those who hurt my feelings, do wrong against me, so I can quickly forgive and pray for them as You have done for me.
*Lord put a wall up between me and any temptation that wants to take control of me. Lord, I ask You to be my only addiction.
*Protect my Spirit from the evil one who is always after me. I pray You will overcome him every time for Your glory Always.
