I don't know how to do this and I told her just talk to him.. that is what he wants us to do.. so then we sat there for hour and half holding each other's hands and just talked to God.. it was awesome..
I agree with the part of praying out loud..it is so much more powerful.
I do that when I read scripture now as well.
Thanks for sharing Bondman

Wow-ee, do I ever love THAT story!!!
Here's the silly thing about this prayer matter. WE ALL KNOW HOW TO TALK, THEREFORE EVERYONE CAN PRAY!!! Yes, it can feel like it's a big deal, and in a major respect, it is. This is pure communication with the God of all creation, of all of heaven and earth - and He LETS us just talk to Him!! How astonishing is that!! Last time I tried to talk to the Queen of England (Ausralia's Queen) I failed. She didn't have time for lowly me! *hee!* But the God of Heaven ALWAYS has all the time in the world for me. AWESOME!!!
