Prayer

What have I learned about prayer? Many things but the practice is always a problem. It seems that man is not inclined to pray. There is something within us that calls day and night to pray but the very act of prayer does not come easily. Does having a thought about God? Does recalling is presence? Are these part of prayer? How is it that I often think of God but very slow in getting to do the act of prayer. That is to say a few words to God, say a rosary perhaps. Is it laziness on my part? I often notice that whenever I thought of praying so suddenly the body feels heavy and sleepy. Often I am compelled to follow my body’s desire and then just fall to sleep. Or do other occupations.
