Lesson Summary

When you struggle with what to say when you pray, just be yourself. Real prayer is authentic and from the heart—we can’t be anything other than what we really are before Him, because He knows everything. God wants us to bring to Him the real circumstances of our everyday lives. If we try to be something other than what we are, we’re not really praying.

In this lesson, you learned how to:

  1. Pray confidently and authentically even when you don’t know the right words to say.
  2. Identify ways to turn Scripture into prayer.
  3. Practice prayer that is natural and relational.

Continue to Lesson 4: Obstacles to Prayer to look at several obstacles to our praying, and the difference it makes when we get them out of the way.
