"Faithful to my Lord's commands, I still would chose the better part; Serve with careful Martha's hands And loving Mary's heart."John Wesley
Romans 12:1-3
1. SPEAK TO PEOPLE. There is nothing as nice as a cheerful word of greeting!
2. SMILE AT PEOPLE. It takes seventy-two muscles to frown, only fourteen to smile. (Besides, you may be on 'Spy TV')
3. CALL PEOPLE BY NAME. The sweetest music to anyone's ear is the sound of ones own name!
4. BE FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL. If you would like to have friends, then, be friendly!
5. BE CORDIAL. Speak and act as if everything you do were a genuine pleasure! (If it is right and good, it really should be.)
6. BE GEUINEIY INTERESTED IN PEOPLE. Empathy means involvement!
7. BE GENEROUS WITH PRAISE and cautious with criticism!
8. BE CONSIDERATE WITH THE FEELINGS OF OTHERS. It will be appreciated.
9. BE THOUGHTFUL OF THE OPINIONS OF OTHERS. There are three sides to controversy--yours-'--the other fellows and the right one!
10. BE ALERT TO GIVE SERVICE. What counts most in life is who we are in Christ and then what we do for others!

First off, there is no "method" or process on how to pray, as there is no specific principle on how to talk to your mom or best friend. We just do it. Yes, there is edict, attitude, and good ways versus bad ways to communicate. Thus, God does give us a pattern as a checklist to make sure our time and attitude are lined up to more of His will and less of ours. We must make sure we use our payer time with purpose and effectiveness.

What if I have never been taught how to personally pray or to talk to God? What if I grew up in a church that never had conversational or personal prayer? What if I offend God? But if you know how to talk and listen then you know how to pray!

Nothing in our Christian life is as important or compares to the value of learning God's Word and then incorporating His precepts into our lives. Thus, memorizing a passage of Scripture is an essential way not only to know His Word, but to know and grow in our Lord and Savior.
