How do you become a great writer? You write, write, and write. How do you become a great musician? You practice, practice, and practice. How do you become great at prayer? I would suggest that you pray, pray, and pray!
Certainly, becoming a great writer or a great musician demands getting some expertise along the way. When it comes to prayer you might have a mentor or you might engage yourself in reading books on this topic or even by following this blog. However, nothing will take the place of actually doing the praying. You need to experience the highs and lows of prayer. As you become more immersed in prayer, you will discover what it takes to really keep at it and the many ways God might decide to answer your prayers.
One must be careful here. Prayer is not merely an activity of what works and what doesn't work. It's all about establishing a relationship with God. It is building trust in the eternal God. It is putting your whole life into the hands of a loving God who knows you better than you know yourself.
So, if you want to learn more about prayer - one thing you must do - keep on praying!
