Every now and then I’ll find myself restless and wide awake at 2 am. A never-ceasing stream of thoughts, in some cases anxiety-provoking, enter and exit my mind without regard for a healthy night’s rest. After this runaway train of consciousness leaves the rails I’ll finally remember how to find peace and comfort at the moment.

Through prayer.

Yet for many Christians, prayer can be a daunting concept. We ask ourselves a slew of questions about prayer and in the process, build up the time for us to connect with God as a challenge to perfect, not a gift to enjoy.

So the problem remains, how does one pray? The answer can be found in a simple, easy to follow acronym:

P-R-A-Y

You may have learned this years ago in Sunday school and have since forgotten. For others, this might be a completely new concept. However for all, the P-R-A-Y model could be the guide needed to ignite your relationship with God, a means to take your faith in Christ to previously unexplored and enriching territories.

A gift that’s hard to grasp

I’ve had many conversations with others about how prayer can be awkward at first…
