    Practical Advice

    We have probably all struggled at one time or another with wandering thoughts or sleepiness in prayer. Does anyone have any practical advice on how they have been able to overcome this?

    Some people find walking as you pray helpful. And a written list in hand. And speak the prayers out loud.

    Ask God for a burden to pray. Move about, lift your hands, pray out loud.

    Be sincere and actually care about what we are praying about. If it burdens me I can't be sleepy or have my thoughts wander.

    I too, have struggled with sleepiness in prayer. I have found that walking really helps me to be able to stay alert. For me, I pray better when I have my eyes open. Not distracted, but not in a sleep position.
