I've never prayed before, but I need help really bad right now. I'm not sure if God is real, but I want to believe. So, how do I pray? I don't think I've ever properly done it.

There are three steps to prayer
>Conveying thankfulness
>Asking for God's help
>Repentance

The first two steps are actually similar. You thank God for something(s) you already have, everything, really. For most Christians, they pray before every meal for example, to show gratitude that the live another day.

The next to step is to 'ask', however, do not do this with worry. Instead, the key is to have faith in success. This is how Jesus says to pray to God:
Mark 11:24
>Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

That is the secret to how Jesus performed all those miracles, because He was absolutely doubtless that God would help Him accomplish anything. You too must strive for that kind of faith, where you do not worry about bad things happening, and if things do 'go wrong', you simply acknowledge that that's just a stepping stone for something greater to come into your life.

The only time to be humble is during the repentance stage, where you ask for forgiveness for all the sins you've committed, acknowledging that no one on Earth is perfect, and that you need Jesus's help to guide your soul to heaven.
