What helps you to overcome that obstacle?
-
I use the following methods to overcome the obstacle to prayer:
a) Pray at the fixed time, in the morning before you start work, and in the evening before you go to bed.
b) Confess your sins regularly. Do not allow them to accumulate and “clog up” your channel of communication with God.
c) Pray on a group. The more you associate closely with prayerful people, the more you will want to pray.
d) Remember that God is a loving Father who wants to give good things to his children. We must believe that every unanswered prayer has a reason for it ,and God knows best. -
I pray when I am alone – if I am jogging or walking my dog. I get lots of time to think about what to say and I feel this works well
-
In the middle of the competing thought, I have to turn that into prayer and ask the Lord to help me refocus and center in on Him.
-
I have to build time into my schedule to set aside to spend with God. I might not manage to every day, but I am spending more time than I have been with Him. I also need to pray that God maintains first place in my life and that other things do not take that place.

Asking the Lord for His Holy Spirit help as l am unable to do so on my own efforts- hence the struggle…
