Prayer Journey

I know I am not alone in saying that praying can be a challenge, because of a lack of focus. Especially when I pray before bed, I often find my mind wandering, my head nodding, or just a sense of emptiness with what to pray for. So I prayed about it. What follows is my current journey. One thing that I do at the beginning, thanks to the suggestion from a friend, is I adore God. Also, as they come, I do mix in specific prayers for things at the end. The focus however is what is bulleted.

Note: This is definitely, in way, shape, or form, a "end all" ways to pray. It's merely just want I have worked out as a way to focus my thoughts while I pray. I wanted to share it. Ultimately it boils down to having correct intentions and just praying to the Lord.
