Even a simple, brief and spontaneous prayer can be powerful, if said meaningfully and whole heartedly.
We can pray where ever we may be, it is not only restricted to sacred places.
Try your best to be still and silence when in prayer.
Everything can be dealt by prayer, if we truly BELIEVE and TRUST in Lord when we seek him in prayer. In prayer everything is POSSIBLE.
Alway remember to thank God for all that has been provided for us in our daily life, and for all prayers answered. We should thank God for all things or event whether it is good or bad as the Lord knows the plans he has for us, each of it has a reason to happen and it's part of God's plan for us.
"For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me." (Jeremiah 29:11-13)
When in prayer, ask the Lord, seek the Lord and listen to the Lord.
In prayer, praise the Lord, say Alleluia to the Lord. The Lord loves us and is delighted when his creations praises and honor him......Glory to God in the Highest. "Taste and see that the Lord is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him!" (Psalm 34:8)
Pray with a clear mind and pure heart, ask the Lord to cleanse and get rid of all undivine attribute that have settled in us. Repent for our sins whether petty or serious, a SIN is a SIN and it is the work of the evil one. Always tell the TRUTH and shame the devil.
Be honest to the Lord, when we talk to Lord in prayer.
Pray for the strength and guidance to overcome obstacles in our life. Ask God, through his Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world to have Mercy on us and grant us Peace.
Pray for our family, friends, church, community and nation. Pray for people in need, the poor, those in trouble and those in grief.
Inspire others to pray by asking the Lord to shine his Divine Love and Mercy on those around me and those who have given up on prayer.
Singing hymns and worship songs, is also another way to praises and celebrate the Lord.
When praying or worship in large group, pray loudly, clear and in audible tone.

The holy scriptures, The Word of Truth which is the Word of the Lord is a rich source of prayers. We can use verses and psalm for the scriptures as part of our prayer or as it is as a prayer.
Pray to the Lord "If it is you WILL Lord, Let it be DONE unto Me, Amen.".
Remember it is important to end every prayer with "AMEN", which means "So be it; truly".
Read the bible scriptures daily (our daily bread, word of truth from the Lord), based on the daily missal, or can be obtained from the Christian/Catholic calendar or from the following website; http://www.ewtn.com/devotionals/inspiration.asp.
Ponder on the meaning that the reading bring and share it with your loved ones and people you meet.
Lord, have mercy (2x)
Christ have mercy (2x)
Lord have mercy (2x)
Christ hear us, Christ graciously hear us.
Always remember our Lord for his sorrowful passion that save us, thank the Lord for his Love and Mercy on us and for the whole world.
"God doesn't expect the impossible from us,
He wants us to expect the impossible from Him."
