Something penned by Max Lucado. He talks about prayer. I don't anyone who believes they have 'arrived' in praying they way they should; as often as they could. I'd include myself in that category. Here's his take on it:

Deeping Your Prayer Life

"Do you want to know how to deepen your prayer life? The Bible instructs in Romans 12:12 to 'steadfastly maintain the habit of prayer'. Though there are many bad habits, there are also many good ones. At the risk of sounding like a preacher---which is what I am---may I make a suggestion? Don't prepare to pray. Just pray. Don't read about prayer. Just pray. Don't attend a lecture on prayer or engage in discussion about prayer.

"Just pray. Posture, tone, and place are personal matters. Select the form that works for you but don't think about it too much. Don't be so overly concerned with wrapping the gift that you never give it. Better to pray awkwardly than not at all. And if you feel you should only pray when inspired, that's okay. Just see to it that you are inspired every day!"
