How do Mormons pray?
I believe that God will hear any prayer, no matter how you do it, as long as it comes from your heart. Do the best you can, and He will meet you at your level.

Mormons believe in a simple method of prayer:

1. Address God. We usually start with “Our Father in Heaven” or “Dear Heavenly Father”, but any respectful address is fine.
2. Thank God. We generally start by thanking God for specific blessings like “thank you that our family can be together today” or “thank you for your help with ——-”, etc.
3. Ask God.
The scriptures say “ask and ye shall receive”. We believe you can ask for anything, such as “please bless us with safety” or “bless our daughter to be well”.
4. Close in the name of Jesus Christ. We believe that Jesus Christ is our mediator with the Father, and that all of our prayers should be in His name.

I think that Mormons believe that it is a method of praying. They use is on missions and it is there to help people learn how to pray. I don't think they're necessarily saying that other people do it wrong, more along the lines of that it should be to God and through Jesus Christ. Read 1 Timothy 2:5 it says how we should pray.

Thanks for your post. I agree with what you say; in fact, I don't think there is any wrong way to pray. I personally believe that a prayer from the heart is better than a pre-determined prayer, but in reality, I think we all pray from our heart, no matter what words we speak. Thanks for your comments, and for the scripture reference.
