It emphasizes that prayer is not about elaborate rituals or constant emotional display, but about sharing real life—spots, snogging, sleep, exams, and watching TV. The text also sets expectations for guidance without rigid rules, addressing difficulty focusing, feeling unsure what to say, and struggling to know whether prayer is “right.”",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":45,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/religion-spirituality/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/prayers-for-teenagers-foreword-about-teen-prayer/420766/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/prayers-for-teenagers-foreword-about-teen-prayer/420766.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Indoniesian

writesomething.  \nPrayer isn't a big deal.It was never meant to be.It's not somethingthat is supposed to involve lots of screaming and crying and kneelingand all that kind of stuff.And neither is it just about the big stuff likefamine and war and disease.Prayer is nothing more and nothing lessthan a chat with the Creator.A Creator who makes it quite clear thathe's very interested in everything about you.And that means every-thing.From spots to snogging,sleeping in,exams,even watching telly.  \nPrayer is our way of sharing everything that we are,everythingthat we do,everything that we think,everything that we believe -right or wrong,with our God.That's what this book is about reallyJust a few deas of what you can pray to God about.Maybe they'llhelp.Maybe they'll make you laugh.Maybe they'll spark off newprayers in you.But whatever it gets used for-even if it is just some-where to rest your coffee on your bedside cabinet-the main thing toremember is that prayer is just about you and God.That's where itbegins and that's where it continues from.Sit,kick back,relax,andjust chat -it's that simple  \nDAVE GATWARD  \nFor...  \nanyone who's ever sat in a Geography lesson on ahot summer's day and thought,'There must bemore to life than this...'  \n...and Su,who makes the best sandwiches in theworld.  \nLord...Jesus...God...Father...Help?  \nI'm having trouble with praying.I don't really know how to do it.I don't know what to saywhat to talk aboutwhat to think.  \nIs there a rule book somewhere,Lord?OK,I've read your prayer,know it off by heart,  \nbut there's more to it than that,I'm sure.There must be.But I'm not sure I've got it right just yet.  \nThe worst thing is trying to keep my mindon talking to you.  \nIt'd be easier if I could see you.  \nIf you're talking to a mate  \nthey're either in front of you  \nor on the phone  \nor sending an e-mail.  \nThere's evidence that the other person is joining in.  \n7  \nWhen I speak to you  \nall I seem to hear is my voiceraftling around in my head.And before too longI'm watching telly,putting on a CD,  \nplaying a computer game,asleep.  \nPrayer's not easy.  \nSometimes I can just rattle on for ages  \ntelling you about my day.  \nOther times I'm just not interested.  \nThen there are times  \nwhen I don't think I need to say anything  \nand yet I feel like I've prayed.  \nThen
