The prayers that already exist are wonderful and have stood the test of time, but what if you need a prayer that’s an exact fit for you? Here are some tips on how make your own prayer:

1. Ask simply and from your heart.

2. Tell God why you need to talk - who or what the prayer is for and why you're praying for it or them.

3. Don’t just tell God what you want to happen... ask him to do what he knows is best (because he does know!)

4. Thank him for hearing your prayer and for loving you and the people you prayed for so much.
