I hope you prayed today without my suggestion. I actually think that the best prayers are those that come from your heart and mind. You may think it is more difficult but, the more you do it yourself, the easier it gets. You may think it is too personal - it is very personal. That's what is so great about it.
Praying to God is proof that you know there is a God. That's a great first step.
Never forget the outline for prayer that God's son gave us. First, tell God that you recognize that He is God and deserves your highest praise. Second, tell Him your desire in the broadest sense - your desire for the whole world to be at peace. Third, ask Him to provide what you actually need and to forgive you for those times you have offended him. Ask that He may treat you as you treat your neighbor. Fourth, ask Him to protect us from the evils of the world and promise, with His help, not to repeat your failures.
That sums it up. You don't have to feel funny about praying - quietly talking to God. He will listen.
