And when you pray.... But you, when you pray.... And when you pray.
Matthew 6:5-7
When a child tells his father he wants to learn to ride a bike, what does the father do? He could explain the parts of the bike. He could show the child a video about bikes. He could talk about the dangers involved in bike riding. Or he could put the child on the bike and work with him until he could ride! In other words, the best way to learn most things is by doing and practicing them.

Truth be told, most Christians don't pray as well as they wish they did. They can identify with the disciples who asked Jesus to teach them to pray (Luke 11:1). In His Sermon on the Mount, Jesus devoted extensive time to teaching about prayer (Matthew 6:5-14). He even provided a model prayer for His disciples to use, as if to say, "If you want to learn to pray, pray like this." Prayer is a discipline, a practice, that only gets better when it is exercised. The best way to learn to pray is to pray!
Consider keeping a journal or written record of your prayer life so you can track your progress with God and be reminded of His faithfulness.
Life is fragile—handle it with prayer.
