No but seriously, this is a really good step by step process for praying about things. You should listen. 

The Prodigal Sons are Dave, Tom, Elijah and Shawn. They are four sinners saved by grace based in the Philadelphia area. 

The "How To" Steps for Praying about something on your mind. As Taught by Pastor Pete.

1. Find a quiet place and identify a troublesome feeling or situation that you want relief from. Be specific about the emotion.

2. Focus intently on the emotions you are feeling. Ask the Lord to stir that emotion within you in a safe way so it can be dealt with.  How intense: 1-10

3. Allow your mind to drift back through time to a memory or situation which sits at the source of that emotion.

4. Identify the lie.  Ask yourself: “Why do I feel this way in this memory?”  The emotion will match the lie.

5. Open your awareness to the presence of God in that memory.  Ask Jesus to show you where he is in the memory (visually, audibly, or just as an assurance or presence).

6. Once aware, ask Jesus to speak truth to the lie that is causing the troublesome emotions.

7. When you hear the truth, speak it to yourself and observe how the truth dispels the emotion.  As you embrace the truth Jesus speaks, God will bring healing and freedom to many aspects of your life that were governed by the lie.

8. Finally, go back to the memory.  Observe your feelings.  If you can face that situation with peace and calm, it’s over.  If there are more feelings, explore those by repeating the process.

9. If you don’t have a realization of truth in a few minutes, there is a reason.

9a. Maybe you missed something important If so: Go back and revisit

9b. Maybe there is a contrary spirit working to block what God wants to do (must deal with that). If So: “I command all contrary spirits to stand aside, in the name of Jesus Christ, until we can complete the work God has called us to do.

9c. ”Maybe you don’t want to accept a truth that God might be saying to you. If so: If you really want release, confess your anger, rage, offense etc to God, admit your powerlessness on your own.  Ask Him to release you completely

If you got to the bottom, you are awesome and we love you!
