There may be no Christian but knows the importance to pray. We can have blessings and guidance from the LORD through prayers. Nevertheless, how many are the cases we pray less!
Let us make sure that there are the things that hinder our prayers. One is our sinful mind. Though we are saved, the sinful mind works against the spiritual mind. The other is the temptation from Satan. When we try to pray, he whispers various matters and feelings. We need to keep struggling with them. What are the things necessary to do it?
Firstly, it is to consecrate the time to pray. Jesus was doing it.
Secondly, it is to pray with the help of the Holy Spirit.
Thirdly, it is to pray every time we feel we are in need. God doesn't want us only to pray longer calmly sitting in a room.
We can have plentiful blessings from the LORD through prayers. Nevertheless, how many are the times we lose in these struggles! Let us be conscious about the struggles in prayers and be winners!

<The Verse of the Bible>
But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.
