Everyone who wants to know God may pray. (1 John 4:15)
Everyone who has sinned and wants forgiveness may pray. (Romans 8:1,2; 1 John 1:9)
How to Pray: Praying is simply talking with God.
God is a person and we relate to Him as a person. Therefore, we speak to Him as a person. God\'s children have immediate access to God anytime, anywhere, and about anything. (1 John 5:1; Hebrews 4:16)
To enter into a relationship with God, we must acknowledge our need for forgiveness of our sins and believe God by trusting Him to give us eternal life through Jesus Christ. (1 John 5:10-14; Hebrews 11:6)

[ul]Worship, praise, and thanksgiving to God for who He is, for His wonderful attributes, and for all He has done. (Psalms 95:6-7; Psalms 9:1-2; Psalms 95:2)
Pray for His will and purposes in your life, in your nation and the world. (Psalms 40:8; Psalms 143:10)
