Now in the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know what to pray for as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. – Romans 8:26

Reminders & clarity
Understand what the Bible says about prayer. It teaches that, among other things, our sin will keep God from even hearing our prayers (Psalm 66:18), and that if we pray with doubt, we will not get an answer (James 1:6,7).
Here’s how to be heard:
Pray with faith (Hebrews 11:6).Pray with clean hands and a pure heart (Psalm 24:3,4).Pray genuine heartfelt prayers, rather than vain repetitions (Matthew 6:7).Make sure you are praying to the God revealed in the Holy Scriptures (Exodus 20:3–6).
As far as God is concerned, if you belong to Jesus, you are a VIP. You can boldly come before the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16). You have access to the King because you are the son or daughter of the King. (*)
STRENGTHENING YOUR PRAYER LIFE
How to Grow Your Prayer Life:
1. Prioritize Sleep
If you're having trouble with morning devotions, you might be staying up too late (Psalm 4:8).
2. Consistency Is Key
Instead of striving for long prayers daily, focus on regular prayer.
3. Seek God's Word Daily
Don't just read to get through your plan; seek revelation and spiritual nourishment.
4. Keep a Journal
Consider journaling as part of your devotion time (Habakkuk 2:2).
5. Minimize Distractions
Turn off your phone notifications, avoid social media, and keep your mind focused on God.
6. Change Your Prayer Location
Sometimes you pray in the same room for years and get into a rut.
7. Spend Extended Time with God
Consider setting aside extended periods for time with God (Mark 6:31).
8. Incorporate Fasting into Your Prayer Life
When you come across a time where you need to get clear guidance and an answer from God on a matter you can fast. Using this is tied to studying Scripture. It is a time of deep study in the Word to find out what God wants you to know. Scripture might have clear guidance on it, or God might be saying: yes (if it happens), no, maybe later, or I have a different plan. You still will get an answer either then or later on. But the purpose is to drive you closer to God by going in deeper in Scripture. Staying close to God and accepting the result.
9. Prioritize Worship Over Petition
When you spend time adoring God, praising Him for who He is, and thanking Him for His goodness, you become more aware of His presence.
10. Memorize Scripture

Martin Luther prayed 3 hours a day. With many things to pray about, it doesnt seem hard. But we are called to pray without ceasing. So pray during the day, but also at home (devoted quiet time, & as couple & as family).
