Developing a heart for prayer begins with understanding Jesus' teaching to approach God as 'Our Father' rather than praying for show or using empty phrases. The Lord's Prayer provides a powerful framework that prioritizes God's glory before our needs. Through the Holy Spirit's help, we can pray honestly even when we lack words, knowing Jesus sympathizes with our weaknesses. The early church demonstrated devotion to prayer as both a proactive discipline and reactive response. Practical approaches like the ACTS model (Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, Supplication) and praying Scripture can transform our prayer life from religious performance into genuine relationship with God.
