Step one of seven

Talk to God today.

Prayer is just talking to your Father. No special words, no posture, no minimum length. Two minutes counts.

THANK

Him for one thing. Anything.

ADMIT

One thing you got wrong. He already knows; this is you agreeing.

ASK

For one thing — for you, or for someone else.

LISTEN

Sit quietly for one minute. That counts as prayer too.
