PRAY TO GOD AND BEGIN A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM. PRAYER IS NO MORE THAN TALKING AND LISTENING TO GOD, SO FEEL FREE TO PRAY THE FOLLOWING IN YOUR OWN WORDS:

• ADMIT YOUR NEED FOR GOD
• REPENT, OR TURN AWAY FROM, YOUR SINS
• EXPRESS BELIEF IN CHRIST
• ACCEPT CHRIST'S SACRAFICE, ASKING HIM IN YOUR HEART AS SAVIOR & LORD
   
  

THE FOLLOWING IS A SAMPLE PRAYER, IF YOU WOULD LIKE ASSISTANCE:

LORD,

"I CONFESS THAT I AM IN NEED OF YOU. I KNOW THAT I HAVE BEEN LIVING FOR MYSELF, AND THAT MY SIN HAS KEPT ME FROM A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU. FATHER I BELIEVE THAT YOU SENT YOUR SON, JESUS CHRIST, TO DIE FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF MY SINS. I BELIEVE IN YOUR POWER THAT RESURRECTED JESUS, AND THAT CLEANSES ME FROM SIN. I ACCEPT THAT FORGIVENESS, AND ASK CHRIST TO COME INTO MY HEART SO THAT I MAY LIVE A LIFE THAT HONORS YOU. HELP ME UNDERSTAND THE DEPTH OF YOUR LOVE FOR ME."

IN JESUS' NAME I PRAY, AMEN. 

AS YOU GROW IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, YOU WILL DISCOVER WHAT A RICH AND WONDERFUL PART OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP PRAYER IS. DO NOT FEAR IT, OR BE INTIMIDATED BY IT. IT IS ONE WAY WE ACHIEVE INTIMACY WITH GOD. THROUGH PRAYER AND THE READING OF GOD'S WORD, YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO HEAR GOD WHEN YOU PRAY. THROUGH PRAYER, WE SURRENDER OURSELVES TO BE STILL BEFORE GOD, AND ALLOW HIM TO SPEAK THROUGH HIS HOLY SPIRIT.
