So many people today use that term "complicated" when they are talking about some relationship they are enduing or really trying to make work. Why not we uncomplicate the relationships starting with the most important One.
Humble reverence is a choice. In any position, at any where and at any time -- pray without ceasing. All day and night long like you do with breathing. All the time. Remember Nehemiah prayed earnestly. Daniel. He opened up his windows and prayed three times per day regardless of dumb laws. Give sincere thanks and praise when you pray. Jesus prayed (Luke 18:1) and said for us to pray. He prayed even on the cross for others.
Pray in the will of God as the Spirit leads you to pray. Praying is God's appointed way for us to obtain the things we need. Simple as that. You have not because we ask not. The main objective of prayer -- to line my will up with God's. It's not about getting my will done in heaven, it's about getting God's will done on earth.
"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. 8For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened." Matt. 7:7-8
When I was a kid down at New Port Beach, me and my siblings never visited or talked with our parents in a stained, fearful or complicated sort of way. Naw, kept it simple and to the point.
When you are a little child, or when you have children, parent, you want to teach them three types of praying.
Not talking about "saying your prayers" (that's just religious and God ain't that way. Never has been.).. but it's 'bout prayin' to the Father through the Son from the heart. Have faith in Him.
* Sorry prayers (which would include personal conviction confession, trust, repentance, change, and believing on Jesus). Every human needs God’s free forgiveness, we’ve all blown it before.
* Please prayers (which would include "HELP", or simple conversation with listening, and bein' filled / or refilling of His Holy Spirit, intercession, supplication, provision and for specific guidance etc.)
* Thank you prayers (which would include the highest forms of all prayer which would be praise and worship of God - the Bible Jesus, our Lord.)
Let’s all have good manners even upwards and outwards.. in a day when they have all but disappeared.
We want to be growing, on-fire spiritually, fruitful, and productive in fellowship with You. - Fish4souls.org

“Don’t bargain with God. Be direct. Ask for what you need. This is not a cat-and-mouse, hide-and-seek game we’re in. If your little boy asks for a serving of fish, do you scare him with a live snake on his plate? If your little girl asks for an egg, do you trick her with a spider? As bad as you are, you wouldn’t think of such a thing—you’re at least decent to your own children. And don’t you think the Father who conceived you in love will give the Holy Spirit when you ask him?” Luke 11:10-13 msg
