Did you know you can pray like a pirate? Learn the acronym behind the pirate prayer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Let us pray and God will do the rest.<\/p><cite>St. Josephine Bakhita<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is pirate prayer?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The Pirate Prayer gets its name from the acronym \u201cARRR.\u201d (Like a pirate, get it?!) This acronym is a helpful guide in learning <a href=\"https:\/\/hallow.com\/blog\/how-to-pray\/\">how to pray<\/a>. You can pray this at any time and can do it over just a few minutes or a longer period of prayer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why should we pray the pirate prayer?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Praying like a pirate (A-R-R-R) is helpful if you&#8217;re not sure how to begin your conservation with God. You might add this type of prayer into your time with God after praying <a href=\"https:\/\/hallow.com\/blog\/how-to-pray\/-lectio-divina\/\">Lectio Divina<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/hallow.com\/blog\/how-to-pray-the-rosary\/\">Rosary<\/a>, or the <a href=\"https:\/\/hallow.com\/blog\/how-to-pray\/-the-examen\/\">Examen<\/a>. Or, you might find this is a helpful acronym to pray with when you&#8217;re on the go and struggling to find time to sit still and rest with God. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When should we pray the pirate prayer?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">You can pray with this acronym at any time! We offer pirate prayer in Hallow, but you can also pray with the A-R-R-R method anytime you feel like it. This prayer is particularly helpful if you&#8217;re struggling to find the &#8220;right&#8221; words as you talk with God. However, what matters is that you turn your mind towards Him and be honest with what&#8217;s on your heart and mind. God is always present \u2014 you just have to call on him!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to pray: pirate prayer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" data-src=\"https:\/\/hallow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Copy-of-how-to-pray-with-saints-wordpress-1024x536.png\" alt=\"Hallow App - How to Pray - Pirate Prayer\n\" class=\"wp-image-8503 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/hallow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Copy-of-how-to-pray-with-saints-wordpress-1024x536.png 1024w, https:\/\/hallow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Copy-of-how-to-pray-with-saints-wordpress-500x262.png 500w, https:\/\/hallow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Copy-of-how-to-pray-with-saints-wordpress-768x402.png 768w, https:\/\/hallow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Copy-of-how-to-pray-with-saints-wordpress-610x319.png 610w, https:\/\/hallow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Copy-of-how-to-pray-with-saints-wordpress.png 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/536;\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A \u2013 Acknowledge<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Take a breath and acknowledge that God is with you and that you desire to grow closer to Him. Take stock of how you\u2019re feeling, your thoughts, what is on your heart and mind.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>R \u2013 Relate<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Share with God everything that came to mind.

Maybe He speaks to you through a Scripture verse that comes to mind or a thought or feeling. Maybe you don\u2019t hear anything, and that\u2019s okay! God speaks even in silence and loves when you rest with Him there.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>R \u2013 Respond<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Lastly, commit to responding to what this time of prayer revealed to you. You could feel called to continue to pray about something that came up; you could decide to take some type of action. Lastly, ask God to help you see what concrete steps you can take with His help.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">You can close your prayer with more time in silence, with an <a href=\"https:\/\/hallow.com\/blog\/how-to-pray\/-our-father\/\">Our Father<\/a>, or any prayer on your heart.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">We\u2019d love to pray the Pirate Prayer with you on Hallow!
