Pray Until You Pray: A Simple Way to Begin Each Day by Jonathan Parnell
You begin every day with prayer, one way or another.In his book The Common Rule, Justin Earley explains that unless we create new habits of gospel prayers in the morning, we’ll start the day with some kind of “prayer” we’ve borrowed from the world. Whether it’s anxiety-ridden regret or self-sufficient resolve, something fills our minds as soon as we awake, directing us to look beyond ourselves, or at least deeper within. And here’s the thing: unless we intend for our prayers to accord with truth, they won’t.

The Prayer Life of a Christian
Prayer is, for the most part, an untapped resource, an unexplored continent where untold treasure remains to be unearthed.Introduction
F.B. Meyer, the author of the great little book, The Secret of Guidance said, “The great tragedy of life is not unanswered prayer, but un-offered prayer.”
Instead of it being something we do everyday, like breathing, eating and walking and talking, it seems to have become like that little glass covered box on the wall that says, “break in case of emergency.” It is true that so very often we associate prayer with crises in our life.

Everything you need to know about prayer
Prayer is instant access to God. This is hard to fathom, because we do not have consistent, infallible, instant access to anyone else on the planet.As helpful as our smartphones are, we still have to deal with glitches when Wi-Fi fails, cell phone signals drop out, or the phone stops working for no apparent reason. But while man-made gadgets can and do fail, prayer never fails.
No matter where we are or what we’re doing, we always have immediate and unfailing communication with God.
