I don't know specifically what you mean by "study prayer". But in order to pray about studying, like for an upcoming test, this is what you could pray (prayer is just talking to God, it's not magical words or phrases, just be honest and respectful)\n\nGod, thank you for all you have helped me accomplish in my classes.  Please show me how to best study for my upcoming exam.  Give me clarity of thought and an understanding of how I can best use my time to remember this information.  Help me to discern what information is most important and most of all, give me endurance in studying so that I can do my best, for your Glory.

Yes, those are all correct. \n\nIt's a shortened version of "I pray you will tell me".  So, it actually has religious connotations, though we don't use it to actually mean anything to do with prayer today.

fives or tens, but a c-note is pretty good also!  Since all christians pray to the same god, then one really isn't any better or worse than any of the others.

Be sincere with the Lord and pray and ask for His help.  There is a song that says I prayed my way out of trouble.

Some people just enjoy praying so politely say Amen!\n\n(You are so FUNNY!)

I start by focusing my mind.  I've picked a book of the bible (Matthew as of right now) and before every prayer time I read a chapter of that book a take notes on it.  (I write down all the chapter headings, what I learned about God through this chapter. and what I learned about me through this chapter.) then I go into my prayer time.  Then sometimes I pray outloud to help me focus more.

The bible is 'Gods' word to us.It says to pray without ceasing. That means on a daily basis.I have had prayers that haven't ''yet'' been answered. They are still in his care waiting for right time or till I realize it isn't His will for my life, and I find peace about it.Hang in and hang on..God is faithful.   ''He is able to do exceedingly ,abuntdantly above that which  I ask or think''

"I'll pray for you!" Ah yes, the classic religious person's way of saying, "F*** you." Nine times out of ten, this line comes about when you refuse to agree on something and that is their final stance - if you won't agree, they're going to get their god to MAKE you agree because you couldn't possibly know what you think or what's best for you.\n\nIf prayer is so effective, why are there millions of starving children around the world? If prayer is so effective, what of the little girl who begs Jesus for her assailant to stop raping her at night? If prayer is so effective, why did six million Jews die during Hitler's reign? If prayer is so effective, why do we need oncology departments, and why are they always full?\n\nChristians often answer that "God moves in mysterious ways" or that "God will answer 'yes', 'no', or 'maybe' and you got a no." Nonsense. The Christian Bible says:\n\nJohn 14:13-14\n"And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it."\n\nMatthew 7:7-8\n"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened."\n\nJohn 16:23-24\n"Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you... Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full."\n\nThere are no conditions here at all. It simply says to ask and your request will be granted. Yet this does not happen. Even Christians who pray in Jesus' name do not have these verses fulfilled on a basis consistent enough to believe that Jesus is the one responsible.\n\nSo relax. Given the track record of failed prayers and desperate pleas, you have no reason to believe any prayers for you are being answered. :)

Have Courage\n\nFather, thank You for comforting and assuring me of Your divine intervention as I walk this journey here on earth. I dwell, remain and settle down under the shadow of the Almighty. I say of the Lord that You are my Refuge, my place of Protection. You are my God, True and Faithful. You are my Security. You did not give me a spirit of fear – but a spirit of power and of love and of calm and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control. In Your name I bind my emotions to the control of the Holy Spirit and go forth with confidence. Amen.

Even as an atheist I have to support this idea, especially when it comes to English tutoring. Anyone spending five minutes on this site realizes that we are experiencing a language crisis in this country. Spelling and grammar have become passe, leading to one incomprehensible post after another. So please, please, please speak to your pastor or whomever you need to in order to implement such a program.\n\nAnd, in the name of whatever you consider holy, take the time to explain the difference between "there," "their," and "they're."

David your request for my prayers will be accomplished as God reminds me and will be sent at once to the throne of God. The Lord bless you and keep you in all your ways as you continue to seek Him.\nPS. If this door doesn't open then just remember that God has something much better for you as He is preparing you even at this very moment.  Heaven Bound. JCE

First give thanks and praise.  Open your heart and be straight forward with your prayers.  Remember to pray for others.  God is pleased that you are even praying, that shows faith in itself.  Don't ramble about the same thing over and over.  He knows what you need and want.  Some people believe the more words they say the more chance of God answering your prayers.  That's not the truth.  He already knows.  Have faith that you don't need to repeat the same thing to him.  Also, remember that he will take care of you and answer your prayers.  Have faith when you pray!  God Bless!

I've done something like what you described... setting down my journey in writing. There are some differences in the experience for me, of course, since I am Catholic. We call our little spot in the house a 'prayer corner' instead of an altar, since altars have specific meaning for us. \n\nBut in real sense we are all priests, as St. Peter describes us as a "royal priesthood", and it is good to reflect in writing on how well you are doing at the job. :-)

Consider yourself prayed for.   This will be a first for me, praying for someone using their screen-name, but that's all you gave me.   \n\nI'll have you in my prayers.  Feel free to email me if you want.
