Talk to God about the issue that vexes you most. You can smile as a greeting first. You have to relax your mind so you don't act worried while talking to Jesus. Jesus is a healer. It is not good to be worried while talking to the Almighty. Show your trust and reliance by making an effort to stop worrying or getting distracted by other things. Talk about your weakness and ask Him to help you see and understand. Pray to Him to bless you according to your needs and capacity.
Be sincere because God himself is sincere and cares deeply about you. Talk about everything that worries you. Expect Jesus to respond. Whether or not you are ready to listen, Jesus sends across a response. Depending upon your diligence, this response gets repeated for you. To be better prepared with your next step in confusing times, read the parables in the bible that enlighten offering insight into what to do and how not to think.
Apologise for recent and old wrongdoings and misdeeds. Apologise daily. God will always listen to your traumas and complaints. Try to talk each night before going to sleep when it is calmer. Share your with Jesus all your deepest of troubles and mistakes.
Thank Jesus. Be thankful for the things you do have and the times that God may have stepped in and miraculously saved you. Thank God for His blessings offered on this day.

After your heart and soul has felt like it has expressed all emotions, end your prayer in Jesus' name. Rest knowing that God heard your prayer.
Reply to Jesus's calling. Allow God's message reach your mind to a point where a fire is started in your soul for Jesus. As you have your conversations with Him, remember to do something good to show your gratitude towards Jesus. Express gratitude in your conversation.

Open your heart to Jesus. Always remember that God is all knowing, seeing, and all doing. Have faith that Jesus is with you at all times. God will always answer your prayers. However, not always in the way that you might expect. Take joy in knowing that God is with you even until your last breath. Expect strength to be given to you for moments of evil temptations and trial. Jesus fills seekers with the spirit. It is you who has to know to strive through your struggles with this renewed spiritual energy. Believe and accept Christ as your savior.
Love God. As God's children you are loved. Return His love by sharing with others. Have others of similar faith know. Share your emotions with friends and family and tell that you have been praying about them. It may get them involved and interested in praying with you.
