I personally have a BIG problem with prayer. I just don't pray enough.
I always tell myself that I need to pray, but I just don't. I know a few other people that have this problem.
Please pray for me and all the other people that have this problem.

I will pray. Do you talk to God? I know many christians, including myself, who approach prayer as though they are engaging in conversation with their best friend- Jesus. One guy I knew always started his prayer by saying "Hi, Jesus."
Also, if you ever find when you are alone worrying about something or worrying about someone, you can pray right at the moment you are thinking about it. Jesus is available 24/7.

Well, I talk to the Lord, as in saying "Dear Lord," "Heavenly Father," or "God" at the beginning of my prayers, and I direct my requests and thanks at God (and Jesus of course), but that is it.
I just have a problem with actually making time for prayer, even though I have a lot of free time.
Well, for example: My mind will say, "you need to pray," but it will also say, "you need to play videogames." My mind tends to give priority to the lesser things, like playing videogames.
Anyways, thanks for the prayer, it is always welcome!

Your problem there seems to be that you're not puting God first, and that's not good. Also keep in mind, you don't need free time to pray. You can pray any time anywhere. My favorite times to pray are first thing in the morning (great way to start your day), right before I go to sleep, while I'm walking to or from classes, or any time I'm by myself. And there are lots of styles of prayer too. You can pray for hours, or you can pray for one minute. But remember, God wants to hear from you!

Um I have a similar problem, but I've been doing better. I;ve found that ppraying in the shower is a good place for you...
I heard a theory the other day that interest me about praying troubles. It was that sin/devil/bad spirits are that thought that are telling you to "play video games" instead of pray, because they are trying to push you away from God. You just have to fight really hard -I know a youth pastor that says we must "fight for focus!" Prayer is important because it builds our relationship with Him!
