 Prayer is more than just thinking about God, it's also setting aside the time to focus on Him. Establish a time and a place in which you will practice the ceremony of prayer, in which you will devote everything that you are. You put away the phone, you tell the family not to bother you, you take on no responsibilities, you allow nothing to clutter your mind, you shut the door, remove distractions of the flesh, remove the inner distractions of questions and doubts and shame, and you come to the Lord and you say, Lord, this is all about you right now. I'm focused on you and I just want your presence. I want nothing else. And you carve out that section of your day to implement the ceremony of prayer and you will find that you will sense deeper realms of glory, that you will walk in greater measures of power, that the character and the nature of Christ will grow exponentially in you.
