I was going through some old stuff and found notes i took in my first camp at Siar beach on prayer and i'm sharing :)
The Lord's prayer brings to focus our lives. God wants to talk to me everyday, every time. Matt. 6:5 In a way we die, our spirits die if we don't hear from the Father.
To hear from God
Don't try to impress people or please people. To hear God you must want to hear him more than anyone else. Learn to live for an audience of one (God).
Put God first. Remove all distractions (mobile phones, computer). God speaks when you are still and listening.
When you pray don't say a lot of stupid rubbish, meaningless thing but share what is going on inside you, whats in your heart. God is close not distant.
Hallowed be your name (my God is the greatest)
When we say these words, we are putting God in his right place and just surrender to Him.
