After you’ve decided on the most appropriate time for prayer You can begin to establish a routine. Here’s an example of a daily pattern for prayer in the morning:
Begin by addressing God to ask for his presence while you read and pray.
Read a passage from the Bible and reflect on the passage. This can be accomplished by reading the passage three to four times, or writing down anything it tells you about yourself or examples to follow, commands to obey or promises to keep.
Structure your prayer by offering adoration, confession prayer, thanksgiving, and petition. Make a prayer for your urgent needs and concerns, and take time to sit in the presence of God.

The key is making it a consistent element of your day-to-day routine. And if you miss the occasional day or two Don’t be concerned! Get back on track the next day.
An everyday prayer practice is an excellent way to start this new year feeling a fresh sense of purpose and feeling of connection to the divine. It’s an effective way to start your day, putting your focus on the Lord and making sure that your actions and thoughts are aligned to His plans.
Another way to increase your prayer time is to enhance it by making it more engaging. Instead of simply reciting phrases, try engaging with God at a deeper level. Use your imagination and try to visualize the scenes by the Bible. You can try to imagine the feelings of these characters and place yourself in their position. This makes your time of prayer more meaningful and personal.
It is also possible to incorporate different types prayers into your day-to-day routine. For example, try silent prayer, contemplative prayer, or even writing your prayers. This will keep your prayer practice from becoming repetitive and provide the variety you need to your spiritual practice.

Find a partner in accountability either a close friend or family member who can check in with you and help you to adhere to your daily routine. They may even join you in prayer and share their own experiences.
