How to Pray

I never knew prayer could be done anywhere and at anytime. I think I had this notion that it was a very proper and particular practice, of which I never really grasped. But today I learned prayer is anything but. It's you talking to God. Talking to your father. Today's message really solidified this for me. Recently I feel like I've been talking to God whenever I feel like it... but at the same time I felt almost disrespectful because I wasn't necessarily setting a specific time away to do so. Lately while biking I've had the desire to call out to Him. Can't say I've ever really felt like that. I've always had a great appreciation for the outdoors, especially the beautiful country we get to explore around here, but recently my appreciation for that seems to be so much greater. I find self riding through the back country and just thanking God for everything I see. We have some amazing country around here. I can't get enough of it! But it's nice to know and feel that that it is okay to do that. That it's a positive thing actually. No doubt setting aside quiet time just to pray is great too, but for me at least, I feel like the outdoors really makes creation that much more real. Like this earth and all its beauty couldn't have been a product of chance, and when I'm out in the thick of it I can't help but wanting to share my appreciation. If anything being outside in "God's Country" makes me feel closer than I ever expected or even ever desired. And I think it's also okay if we don't all have the same prayer life. The way I talk to God, when and where I talk to Him may not be identical to the next person... and I think that's a good thing as well.

One major fear though I have is something I read in Mark 3:28-30
"Assuredly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they may utter; but he who blasphemies against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation- because they said , 'He has an unclean spirit.'"

After reading this I decided to find out what the exact meaning of blasphemy means. According to Webster it refers to "the act of insulting or showing contempt or lack of reverence (lack of respect) for God."

I've admitted before God that I have denounced his name in the past and asked for forgiveness and truly feel that my heart and mind have been changed but this verse scares me quite a bit. Is that not enough? My bible titles this passage as the Unpardonable Sin... is this true? What if what one once said about God in general, in times of confusion and disbelief, is no longer what is in their heart... is this something that not even the death of Jesus can wipe clean? Please tell me I'm wrong.
