For many, praying doesn't come easily. How awkward is it to talk to someone you can't see or hear? How silly does it feel to talk to someone, not knowing if they've heard us or not? Where do I even start in a conversation with God?

For others, praying might come a little easier. When you're kneeling in church, you routinely give thanks and ask for blessings. However, we all know that communication is one of the main foundations of a relationship. How do you really get to know someone you talk to once a week? That kind of relationship can only go so far.

So, for those who don't know where to start, or for those who struggle with keeping in constant contact with God, this one is for you. Susanna Spencer, who writes for Blessed is She, wrote, "When we are in the habit of praying for every little thing, we become more confident in God's love for us, and we find ourselves in constant conversation with Him."

Any time is a good time to pray, so here's a list to help you get started!

For when you're feeling blessed:

1. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

2. You amaze me.

3. Bless this day.

4. You are so good to me.

For when you need a little help:

5. Be with me,

6. Make me a better sister/friend/daughter/etc.

7. Give me patience.

8. Fill my heart with love.

9. Give me strength.

10. Bless my relationship with...

11. Keep me happy, healthy, and safe.

12. Give me peace.

13. I can't do it alone.

14. Help me focus on what's important.

15. Fill me with joy.

16. Help me do what is right.

For when you've been hurt:

17. Help me forgive.

18. Take away my anger.

19. Comfort me.

20. Be with whoever hurt me.

21. Help me rise above this.

For when others need help:

22. Keep my family and friends happy, healthy, and safe.

23. Be with those who are suffering.

24. Show yourself to those who don't see You.

25. Look after our troops.

26. Guide our leaders.

27. Break open hard hearts and fill them with Your love.

28. Let there be peace.

29. Show them Your love.

30. Be with those who are lonely.

For when you're feeling a little lost:

31. I trust in your plan.

32. Thy will be done.

33. Help me accept your plan.

34. Guide me.

35. I'm looking for You.

For when you're ready for action:

36. I will follow You.

37. Make me brave.

38. Lead me away from sin.

39. Call me to action.

40. Fill me with Your Spirit.

41. Fill me with compassion.

42. Set me on fire for You.

43. Help me live like You.

44. This is for You.

45. Make me a light to others.

Pray hard and pray often; when you wake up, in the car, before a test, when the weather is nice, when you're walking to class, when you're brushing your teeth, when you need a little pick me up.

He cares about the little things, and He's always listening.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
