There was a time when things were difficult with me that I would pray dearly and enjoy sweet fellowship with the Lord. I remember many times sleeping on the couch, and praying for a long time, simply telling God thanks for His mercies.
Now as things are getting better (they are not that great), but I think better in terms of having clear goals and purpose of mind in refernce to private life, career, family etc, my prayer life has gotten sloppy.
Its pretty bad, that I read my Bible at night, and pray and find myself falling asleep and nodding during my prayer sessions, I then would hurry it up and then fall asleep, and begin snoring like a pig.
In the morning, I find myself uttering a mechanical prayer of thanks.
This is wreaking havoc on me.
I need some advice on how to improve this. I know its a matter of personal discipline, but I cannot seem to find the time, and when I do find the time, I am dead tired.
