Is there a right way to pray?

Question

Is there a right way to pray? How do you pray? How do you structure it?
Sorry, I’m on a journey to strengthen my relationship with God and I just really need some help. I’m 17 and I’ve grown up being told about Jesus and we went to church but my family never really taught me much and we didn’t live a very “Christian” lifestyle. I want to strengthen my bond with God so I can turn around and help my family too. I also have a 3-year-old brother who I want to help raise surrounded and brought up by Christ.

Answer

Pray by thanking God and worshipping him. Also, you should study and read in your bible, that will help you to get in the mind of God and it will also show you many examples of Godly prayer. ❤️

Answer

Does Jehovah listen to all prayers? No, he does not. In the time of the prophet Isaiah, Jehovah told the Israelites: “Although you offer many prayers, I am  not listening; your hands are filled with blood.” (Isaiah 1:15) So if we are not careful, we could do things that would distance us from Jehovah, causing him to ignore our prayers.
If we want Jehovah to listen to our prayers, we must have faith in him. (Mark 11:24) The apostle Paul explains: “Without faith it is impossible to please God well, for whoever approaches God must believe that he is and that he becomes the rewarder of those earnestly seeking him.” (Hebrews 11:6) But it is not enough just to say that we have faith. We need to prove our faith clearly by obeying Jehovah every day.—Read James 2:26.
To whom should we pray? Jesus taught his followers to pray to “our Father in the heavens.” (Matthew 6:9) He also said: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6) So we should pray only to Jehovah through Jesus. What does praying through Jesus mean? For Jehovah to accept our prayers, we need to show respect for the special assignment Jehovah gave to Jesus. As we learned, Jesus came to earth to save us from sin and death. (John 3:16; Romans 5:12) Jehovah has also appointed Jesus as High Priest and Judge.​—John 5:22; Hebrews 6:20.
Do we need to be in a special position when we pray? No, Jehovah doesn’t ask us to kneel, sit, or stand when we pray. The Bible teaches us that we can talk to Jehovah in any respectful position. (1 Chronicles 17:16; Nehemiah 8:6; Daniel 6:10; Mark 11:25) What is most important to Jehovah is, not our position when we pray, but that we talk to him with the right attitude. We can pray out loud or silently wherever we are and at anytime during the day or night. When we pray  to Jehovah, we can trust that he will hear us even when nobody else does.​—Nehemiah 2:1-6.
How often should we pray? Jehovah invites us to talk to him regularly. The Bible says that we should “pray continually,” “persevere in prayer,” and “pray constantly.” (Matthew 26:41; Romans 12:12; 1 Thessalonians 5:17) Jehovah is always ready to listen to us. We can thank him every day for his love and generosity. We can also ask him for his guidance, strength,  and comfort. If we truly value the privilege we have to pray to Jehovah, we will use every opportunity to talk to him.

Answer

I just casually pray in the shower like, hey god thanks for another day and thank you for watching over my family. Then I usually get distracted by something and then I’m like, oh yeah god anyways...then I just pray about what’s going on in my life and what’s bothering me or ask for prayers for someone else. It’s more like a conversation with god. It doesn’t have to be proper or kneeling at the edge of your bed. It’s more about creating this relationship with god and just talking about what’s on your mind and asking for guidance on how to be a better person for yourself and others. ❤️
