Many believers feel discouraged because their minds wander in prayer. But prayer is not only measured by how still your thoughts are. It is also shaped by whether you keep coming back to God instead of giving up. Start simply. Speak to God honestly. Open the Bible and pray through a verse. Keep a short list if that helps. Pray in the morning, during the day, and before sleep. Over time, prayer becomes less forced and more natural. Do not wait to feel especially spiritual before you pray. Pray because God is near and because He welcomes you.
