How Is the Best Way to Pray (Part 2 of 2)
Recalling the word pray as P-R-A-Y is the easiest way to remember what to include on how to enjoy a more effective prayer life. We should do each of these things in our prayers to God:
- P (Praise)
- R (Repent)
- A (Ask)
- Y (Yield)
In Part 1, we learned that without accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and without accepting the totality of the word of God, the Holy Bible, as the inerrant and true word of God, He is under no obligation to answer an unbeliever’s prayer…unless it’s the unbeliever’s prayer of salvation, where an unbeliever is asking Jesus to come into their heart to become converted.
God is ALSO under no obligation to consider the prayers or answer the prayers of a Christian who does NOT repent.
All scripture is God-breathed. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 says, “All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.”
In Part 2 of How Is the Best Way to Pray, all 4 letters of the acrostic P-R-A-Y are explained in detail to help you enjoy a more fulfilled prayer life.

- If You or Someone You Know Is Not a Christian
- If you feel a stirring or prompting in your heart that you have not felt before or maybe have ignored before, it could be God asking you to accept his Son as your Lord and Savior. If you reject the prompting of the Holy Spirit, you remove yourself from the only force (the power of the Holy Spirit) that can lead you to repentance and restoration to God.
- Because there is no second chance to accept Christ if you die before you accept Him, invite Him into your heart now, proclaim Him your Lord and Savior, and ask forgiveness of your sins. It’s the most significant decision that you can make about where you are going to spend eternity.
