Prayer isn't meant to be difficult. After all, it's just about you and God having a chat. And like any chat, it can be about anything. God's not just interested in the big things, like war and poverty, but about you, your life, what you're up to. He wants to know what makes you tick, what gets you angry, sad, happy, annoyed, crazy, concerned, excited, interested.

Written by David Gatward, author of Can we talk, Lord?, these prayers are about just that: the stuff in life that makes you what you are; what makes you 'tick'. From being bullied to being a Christian, from friendship to breaking up to getting drunk, snogging, and pressure at school. Prayer's not a big deal. It's you, God, your life - and that's all there is to it. Amazing, isn't it?
