Father, forgive me for saying prayers instead of really praying (praying with an engaged mind and spirit). I offer smooth words and expect You to act while I neither expend or extend myself in prayer (at least not with the regularity I should).
Reveal to me why more prayers are not effective. Is it that my lips are saying the right thing but my heart isn't there yet? Is it simply that I am lazy? Is it that I don't know what it is that You want to do and don't take enough time to listen? Perhaps it could be that my motive for wanting to pray effectively isn't right.
If prayer isn't effective then something is wrong. I have to know what it is.
