Pray

"Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done; on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen"  - Matthew. 6:9-13

I've never prayed before, so how should I start praying?
First of all by saying 'hi' for example. The way you talk to your friends.

What should I say when I'm praying?
What ever you want. There's no such a thing as 'the perfect way of praying'. Talk to God like you would speak to your friends. Because He wants to hear your problems, worries, happy news.. etc.

How often should I pray?
As often as you want. But you don't have to pray everyday! It doesn't say in the Bible that you HAVE to pray 7 times a week or 6 minutes/day. You pray when you want.

Will God love me more if I would pray more?
No. God loves everyone the same amount. But the more you pray, the closer you get to God.
