No one formula or style works for every person. I have seen this in our own congregation. Some people pray with their heads and need devotional material that helps them think about God. Some people pray with their hearts and feel their way into God's presence. Some people pray with their feet and encounter God in the persons they serve.
Introverts prefer to pray alone, while extroverts pray better with another person or ten or twenty.
Pray without ceasing. Pray until prayer becomes as habitual and necessary as breathing. Keep your connection with God vital and active and discover the peace it produces in your soul. And don't forget to listen, not only for what God says to you, but for what God says to you through the prayers of others. Elizabeth O'Connor tells of visiting an overnight shelter for street women.
