When you don't know how to pray, read Scripture to see what needs fixing in yourself. Confess those specific faults, ask God for virtues like patience and kindness to replace them, and let God's Word fuel your prayers.
When you don't know what to do in prayer, go to the Word, and very quickly you will start to see, okay, this needs to be corrected in me. I have to fix this part of my character. I have to fix this part of my mindset. Lord, help me to fix my nature. I repent of this specific behavior. Lord, give me more patience. Lord, help me to be more kind. Lord, give me the faith where I've had doubt. Lord, give me joy where I've experienced sorrow. And the Word of God in you now ignites the spirit of prayer.
