Prayer is actually a "date and meeting" with God. We can try to set a time to "meet" with Him. The length or shortness of the time is up to us. It can be in the morning, because this is the time when we are in the best mental state of the day, or it can be in the evening, after a busy day of work, to calm down and talk to God. In this way, a pattern and habit will be formed.

2. Treat “prayer” as whispering to God

When mentioning “prayer”, many believers will think of it as a solemn ritual of kneeling down to worship God. In fact, God is our Father in heaven, and we can have a private conversation with Him outside of the liturgy. When you are happy, share your happiness with God; when you are in trouble, tell Him your unhappiness.

3. Read a passage from the Bible

The Bible is the holy word of God. When we don’t know what to say to God, we need to listen to what God has to say to us. . When we can’t stop praying or are not focused, we can read a passage from the Bible and see what God expects and requires of us. Then we will feel inspired and respond to God.

4. Recite the Rosary

Reciting the Rosary is more than just worshiping the Blessed Virgin Mary. Each end of it contains the mystery of Christ’s redemption.

6. Gazing at the icon

Lack of concentration and wandering are difficult for us to control, but we can control our eyes.

Try gazing at icons and meditating on their meaning, whether it is the birth and crucifixion of Jesus, the saintly iconography of Our Lady, or the words and deeds of saints. The icon itself is not the object of our worship, but the holiness represented behind it.

7. Say the content of prayer out loud

Many believers have tried to say the content of prayer out loud, which makes it easier to enter the state. Expressing ideas in words often opens up a wider range of ideas than holding a pen and writing, and the same goes for praying. Saying it out loud is like having a face-to-face conversation with God, rather than meditating in your heart. Of course, the prerequisite for doing this is not disturbing other people.

8. When you think about other things, just leave it to God

When praying, you accidentally think of other trivial matters that have nothing to do with your faith. This is human nature. . So since we have other things in mind, we simply entrust the matter to God, tell God our thoughts on the matter, and then listen to God’s will.

If you are entangled in something or an emotion during prayer, you can try to chant silently over and over again with a short chant, "God, help me; give me guidance; please calm my emotions; please Fill me with your peace..."

9. Pray with more brothers and sisters

When many of us pray together, Jesus will come Come among us. When praying alone, it is easy to feel sleepy, lazy, and think about other things, but this does not happen when many brothers and sisters pray together. Group prayer makes it easier for the church members to enter the state of mind.

As mentioned in the first article, prayer is indeed a task, but the frequency and effectiveness of its completion are determined by ourselves based on the actual situation.

Therefore, we should not pray for the sake of praying, as that will not have a good effect. God will also help us to be more enthusiastic at this time.
