Question about prayer?

[cristyd]

I was wondering when you pray must you always use specific prayers or can we also pray using our own words, especially when they are praying for somebody or for some specific thing. Can we use words like: “God, please help me with…” or “please help me at work” or “please forgive me for this or that thing.” Can you use your own words to tell Our Lord that you are sorry for something?

Also is there there a prayer that couples can say to ask God for help in getting pregnanat and having a child.

Thnak you.

When praying for something, of course you can state it anyway, and I do not think there is any Church teaching against this. But keep in mind, always end it with “By God’ Will” as all our prayers are answered by God’s will.

The church has no set rules on praying. You can pray just by talking to God, or using a saint as an intermediary, as you would any other individual. It’s like having a conversation between the two of you. Or you could just sit in silence and meditate, perhaps on one of the Bible verses. Or just sit in silence before the tabernacle and listen. Of course pre-written prayers are also good, like the Anima Christi after Holy Communion.

God wants us to ask for whatever we want–big things, good things. Of course, according to His will. Sometimes He says yes, sometimes no.

I know of no specific prayers for getting pregnant. Why not write your own? I have written several of my own prayers and use them frequently. Best wishes on having the gift of a baby from God.

If your asking, your not adept at prayer.
Start with formalized prayer like the rosary, pause at times and include your intentions as they come to you. Do this for awhile then you can start loosening up what you do…freestyling if you wish. But the rosary is very importante’.

Thank you all for the answers. The link is helpful, I never though of adding the word Catholic maybe that’s why i was not able to find.
