The very first thing to do, or in some ways, the most important thing to do in prayer, is to call on God's name.
There doesn't have to be a main point.
The name of God is what fills the prayer from beginning to end.
If we just call God's name correctly, that prayer is already complete.

The moment he heard the answer that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by, Bartimaeus, without thinking, shouted at the top of his lungs, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
This cry was the prayer of Bartimaeus.
We can also pray like this.
“Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.”

Even after 10 years, every time I went to pray, I felt like I was forcing myself to go there.
I think it was like that even after 15 years.
It's been well over 20 years now, a little over 25 years, and praying is now natural.
It's so strange that I don't pray.
I think that's what training is all about.
The way I train my body, mind, and soul is to set a time and place and sit down with my body in that place.

Having a place of my own where I always pray, choosing a place of prayer, is a promise to God and has important meaning.

--- p.33

This gives us an idea of ​​how much Samuel prayed at a place called Ramanaiot.
I am convinced that if there is a place where God and people can communicate continuously, that place will be filled with the Holy Spirit.

If you write down prayer requests in a notebook in advance, it is very helpful because even when you go deep into prayer, you can look at the notebook at the end and pray for them one by one.
--- p.40

Writing down your feelings in a notebook allows for more private and personal self-healing than consulting a doctor.
So, when you offer your words to God, you become more refined so that you can speak more maturely rather than whining like a child.
It doesn't matter whether you write your notes in prayer format or diary format.
However, even if you write it like a diary, it is better to end it with a prayer.
As I write without any particular order, I can organize my thoughts about what is causing my suffering and what name to give to it, and I can then pour out my heart to God in much more depth.

--- p.41~42

We have Jesus.
If we pray to Him, we will never perish.

--- p.64

If you set aside time for prayer like this, what should you do with the rest of the time? Fill it with confessions of faith.
The confession of faith becomes a preparatory prayer.
Also, when you pray, include your confession of faith in your prayer and say it repeatedly.
It becomes a powerful force that moves God and brings blessings and miracles.

The devil loves to hear us sigh.
‘God hates me’ ‘I’m so lonely’ ‘How can I live?
The devil claps his hands and rejoices when you say, 'I can't live.'
Conversely, try repeating verses like “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want” (Psalm 23:1), “The young lions may lack and suffer hunger, but those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing” (Psalm 34:10), and “You have turned my mourning into dancing; you have loosed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness” (Psalm 30:11).
The devil will be discouraged.

--- p.74

Prepare a special prayer time with a positive confession of faith, and then sit down during the prayer time and experience how God responds when you call upon Him.
This is how we practice God's command to pray without ceasing.
We can pray without ceasing because we embroider our lives with this confession of faith.
