It can be hard to carve out time for prayer. But when you have more time, it still takes some effort to move into prayer.
Talk straight to God, and talk about everything.
This is similar to "pray your feelings." No subject is inappropriate for prayer. Talk about everything - everything. When we die, we come to the Lord as we are, the good and the bad.
We would not want to have too many difficult things that we have to talk over for the first time with the Lord.
"Does God have a set way of prayer, a way that he expects each of us to follow? I doubt it. I believe some people - lots of people - pray through the witness of their lives, through the work we do, the friendships they have, the love they offer people and receive from people. Since when are words the only acceptable form of prayer?" - Dorothy Day
