Prayer is a conversation between God and you



"To be with God, there is no need to be continually in church. We may make an oratory of our heart wherein to retire from time to time to converse with Him in meekness, humility, and love. There is not in all the world a kind of life more sweet and delightful than that of a continued conversation with God"


Brother Lawrence



Praise and thanksgiving should be a part of all your prayers to God. When you come with this attitude, you show Him gratitude, and ascribe to Him His divine attributes. God is ever present when we are praying, as a loving heavenly Father, and we can ask Him to grant to us a consciousness of His presence.
The most important prayer is the one our Lord gave us:



Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy Name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven;
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our tresspasses,
as we forgive those who tresspass against us;
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil,
For thine is the kingdom, and the power,
and the glory forever.
Amen



It is certainly right to petiition God. You can pray any time, no matter what you are doing, and He will listen. What an amazing Father we have in God.
