How to pray for help

Here is how to pray for help:

Prepare

  • Find a place where you will not be disturbed
  • Stand, sit or kneel; it doesn't matter
  • Put all worries and distractions out of your mind
  • Relax your body by listening to your breathing
Get started

  • Begin by making the Sign of the Cross
  • Take a moment to thank Jesus for all He has done for you
  • Then say, "Jesus please help me," and get to your problem
Tell Jesus your problem

  • Use your own words or use a prayer
  • Speak to Jesus honestly… don't hold anything back
  • Remember that Jesus comes as a healer, not as a judge
jesus finds the lost sheep
Trust Jesus to help you

  • Be patient... you need to believe that Jesus will help you
  • You may wish to say the Our Father prayer
  • There may be something Jesus wants you to do

To hear His voice you need to listen in silence... otherwise the noises (or the many thoughts in your mind) may drown out what Jesus wants you to hear. You can understand the need to be silent if you have ever tried speaking to a person who won't stop talking.

Close your prayer

  • Consider the matter of Jesus helping you completed
  • Jesus is Lord and He has promised to help you
  • End with, "Jesus I love you. Thank you for helping me."
