You may ask anything in my name and I will do it. John 14:14
Prayer is the most important part of our relationship with God. It is the time we have to open our hearts to him and present our request, thanks and praise. Our prayers honor God. We are to pray to him with love otherwise the prayers are meaningless. We should pray daily and often! Sometimes I find I have a hard time with distraction while I pray. You need to ask the Lord to help clear your mind so you can focus on Him. I have found it beneficial to write my prayers though it is not always practical. How many times do we in times of need automatically reach out to a family member or friend? Shouldn't our first thought be on asking the Lord for help? The Lord many times plays second fiddle in our life. Imagine if you lived in a house and no one talked to you. You would try to interject your advice or help and no one was listening. How would that make you feel? Pretty lousy, right? Well, that's how the Lord feels when we neglect Him. He's patiently waiting for us to come to Him. We need to change the priorities in our life and put God first and foremost! The first thing we should do on awakening is to thank God for another day of life. Our last thing of the day we should be thanking God for guiding us through our day. Pray right now that God will open your eyes to His truth and fill your heart with the Holy Spirit!
