>>8097519And, that's perfectly fine! Christ does not judge you based on how good your immediate prayer is, Christ does not care for first impressions. :)
What Christ will care about, and will do: is be there, waiting to hear your prayers.
It's nothing to fear, and you can always start, sooner is better than never. :D
If you want advice, I can just tell you how I pray. Foremostly, I invoke the name of Christ to let him know that I am praying to him, "In Jesus' name I pray." And, then, it's just like having a conversation with myself. I tell him what's on my mind, what I worry about, what I want to do that is better, and for signs for guidance. Then I say what I'm thankful for, and tell him that may his will be done, may my will become what is his will.
When I am done, I invoke the name of Christ once more, "In Christ's name I have prayed, Amen."
If you never come from a spiritual place before, I can see how it can be odd at first glance, and if you have trouble thinking of... well, channeling the connection to Christ: I say think upon the images depicted of him, who Christ is (the one who died for our sins upon the cross).
I can say, only in the last half of a year, I have begun to really feel the power and transformation of Christ. I've dedicated myself to Christ for... 6 years now? But, I've noticed that Christ was always with me throughout time and time again. I'm a very lustful man, a slave to the orgasm; I've had very consumed dark depravities. But, through the Lord, I have seen him help me overcome it all. I was a frequent consumer of pornography, a masturbator, and even fairly promiscuous before I fully came to Christ. Now, even though I felt like giving up many times over & over, Christ has stayed by my side. Now, I don't really think lustful at all, I rarely masturbate. I feel happier this way, I feel whole; this work is nothing short of the Lord.
