Jesus and the Inner Life
How should I pray?
The Urantia Book’s rule is short enough to memorize: pray for values rather than things, for growth rather than gratification. Prayer is not a technique for escaping conflict but a stimulus to growth in the face of it. Ask to know God’s will rather than to change it.
In the book's own words
Prayer is not a technique of escape from conflict but rather a stimulus to growth in the very face of conflict. Pray only for values, not things; for growth, not for gratification.
