I have a hard time setting aside time to pray everyday.  I have tried praying in the morning, in the car, after work, and before going to bed.  All have been effective at times, but I am full of distractions in my head.  I also find that one specific time will work for a while and then my distractions increase.  I also struggle with my daily prayer time becoming too much routine and not sincere.

I don’t want it to be something I check off of my to do list everyday.  I want it to be authentic and dedicated.  I don’t know why this has to be so hard for me sometimes.  I try praying through the distractions and sometimes praying specifically about the distractions.  Sometimes I get the urge to go do other things that I need to do.  I have tried journaling during prayer time and writing down my distractions to deal with them later.  This can work too, but this takes a little bit more time and effort.

I feel like I have tried a lot of strategies for quality consistent prayer time, but I usually end up slipping away from it somehow.  How do you stay in the groove with your prayer time and fight off distractions?
