Sometimes, without intending it, we naturally drift into prayer. It comes upon us at an unexpected moment. Don't put those times on "hold" as though you can retrieve them later. Go with it, however brief this time may be.
Some of the best experiences of prayer happen this way.
Something doesn't have to "happen" every time we pray.
Don't look for immediate results. Prayer is "being with" God. The results are real but gradual. Every session of prayer is not meant to produce a new thought, a new resolution, a bottom line result.
That, by the way, is one of the things that can help make times of prayer enjoyable.
