so how do you pray? as you would speak to a wise friend or family member, or as to some kind of imaginary king? you just pray to god directly or no?

I pray inside of myself to what I feel as reaching out to God, or sometimes out loud as if God can hear me. I do not think about how so much, there is a range of emotions I feel, mostly a pleading. I pray to God as an entity who can know all things and knows my thoughts and search my heart deeply, as I feel it and see what I believe is the truth for myself. I pray and feel like I am on death. I need Gods help, I need to know what has heard me can be there with loving favor, as what I considered God once had for me. I feel like I know what it means for God not to be here, I am losing the last bit of everything that I am, including my ability to believe in God and see Gods benevolence. I am already nothing, there is nothing left to peel away and I am destroyed.

I literally need to sense that God is here for me in a way that I can recognize as benevolent, because if not my entire reality will collapse forever, it will not be worth me being alive for anything that I cannot love or do good and am put to extreme death in the of my soul.

you don't need to believe in god. you should be figuring out how to converse with god sucb that you actually understand the answers. it's a lot more effective to pray mildly and softly in seclusion and in your own words if you want the answers to be mild and soft and directed at you specifically. beginners mistake to go all airhorn on prayer.

besides that, you need to find the determination to choose peace and moral discipline over war and power. doesn't mean you should never fight or be powerless, but to aim for having a little more peace than power is a good start.

some kind of moral learning/study schedule certainly isn't going to hurt either.
