How can I concentrate more on prayer?
My Answer
Set prayer as a priority in your life. Stop making excuses why you can’t pray. Your attitude toward prayer is essential. If you still are having trouble, try speaking your prayer out loud. Try writing out your prayer or do prayer journaling. This has personally helped me.
Bible’s Answer
Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart (Psalm 37:4).

trust and humility. Walter Wangerin, Jr.
2. (Martin Luther wrote this about concentration on the Lord’s prayer in his little book A Simple Way to Pray.)
I certainly do not bind myself to these exact words and syllables; rather today I say my prayers one way, and tomorrow in some other way. It all depends on the mood I am in and how I am moved and ready to pray. But I do stick as close as I can to these kinds of thoughts and the meanings of each petition in the Lord’s Prayer. When such rich thoughts come, just let other prayers go and give these thoughts plenty of room; do not in any way hinder them. For in this way the Holy Spirit is preaching to you. His sermon is better than a thousand of our prayers. Many times I have learned more in the process of praying a single prayer than I would have struggled to learn through much writing and reading.
