Prayer is the means of spiritual communication that God established for men to speak with Him.
It is normal to confuse a little those who are starting in this practice and in some cases they might even feel somewhat intimidated. If this is your case, then I will give you some tips based on my personal experience that will surely be very useful. And you will see that it is not complicated, quite the opposite, it is very similar to talking with a friend. That is why when talking to God you must open your mind and heart.

Step 1
Choose a place where you are comfortable, it can be in the comfort of your home, in the Church, alone, or with other Christians. There are those who prefer to do it outdoors, in natural spaces such as the beach or a park, because in places like this they feel God's presence closer. The main thing is that you are really comfortable and relaxed to be able to concentrate on what you want to say.
Step 2
After taking the first step you can start talking to God. Say everything you want, and while showing the respect you deserve, try not to be too formal, because keep in mind that the person you are listening to is a trusted friend (John 15:15). You can pray out loud, whispering, or from the silence of your heart, but try to say everything you have in mind. Tell him about your fears, consult him about your projects, share with him your dreams and the things that make you happy, but always try to talk in the first instance of those that led you to talk with him. If you have questions to ask, don't hesitate to ask them. And remember that gratitude is a fundamental part of prayer, so never forget to thank him for all the things he has given you.
Step 3
Talk to God as often as you need, or as you wish, you should not set a date or determine a time to do so. Every moment is good, and no matter what the circumstance, your ear will always be ready to listen to you and will never have anything more important to do. And just as you take the cell phone to talk to a family member or a good friend, in the same way you can do it with your Heavenly Father. You can talk with him several times a day, or those that seem good to you, but do not spend much time without doing it, let alone when you are going through a problem.
Step 4
Stay tuned to hear their answers. God has many methods to answer the prayers of his children, he can do it through his word while we read the Bible, or by giving us a sense of peace and tranquility where before there was grief or restlessness, he can also use people arriving at the right time and "As errands from heaven." Do not be discouraged if the answer does not come immediately, do not believe that it is taking time or that you have forgotten your request, he has a good memory, he is never late, and he knows what the best time to answer is. When you pose your problems, give it time to solve them, do not be impatient and wait with confidence.
Already finishing ...
When you pray, keep all things that can distract you from your mind as far as possible, and focus on what you want to say.
Do not be afraid, do not think silly for talking to God. Do not demand too much at the beginning, but be consistent because although at the beginning it is somewhat complex, with practice it will become simpler and you will feel more comfortable doing it, but to get there you must first work on the initial discomfort.
