How do you pray?

Lately I have been really struggling with certain aspects of my life. I am unsure right now of what God wants me to do with school, where I live, relationships. Everyone just tells me to pray... pray for this, pray for that. I don't get how to pray.How do I do it so that I can see what God wants me to do? I always pray and say "Lord please be with so and so, please be with this person; please show me the way, what do I do Lord? I need you, please." BUT I AM NOT SEEING ANYTHING! I am not seeing any sign of any direction and I NEED ONE! Hoes anyone have any suggestions or ways that help them?

I guess I just need some advice and some prayer for myself. I am spending my Friday evening watching Breakfast of Tiffany's (a definite feel-good movie) and drinking a beer.

I would like to humbly offer you a place to start...

If you are having specific issues that are "attached" to certain logistical decisions you have to make, you can search the Bible for scriptures pertaining to that. Wow, that sounded very clinical but I believe God's word is a living, powerful thing. When you find those scriptures you can begin "praying" those, meditating on them...good stuff.

you probably know this one, Romans 12:2 says "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will"

love,

Sara
