Mindless prayer is caused by addicted to spiritual phrases which appear incarnation.
Prayer should take place in the mind and not in the mouth. Lets change our routine in prayer because prayer is beyond cramming and incarnating some statements.
When you don't mind your prayer, you don't pray from your mind. Do you know what it mean? You don't mean what you are praying about. God is not man that we should be saying what we don't mean.
Praying to God of gods consists of motives. The motives include your relationship with Him, your expectation of blessings, fear of failure, death, need of child, need of marital partner and many more.
They are less important than your love for God. Your love for God will make you mind your prayers to God and it is better you mind your prayer for short time than praying without minding it for lengthy time.
Adam and Eve were praying to God before the fall of man. They mind praying to God and it was great time whenever God came down to be with them and they were mindful of God's presence.
Elijah was mindful in His prayer and He pray minfully for rain to stop for many years in the contest with Baal worshippers. What happened? God mind his prayer and God paid attention to Elijah's mindful prayer. The Baal worshippers spent more time in cutting their body and incarnating and shouting outloud and nothing happened. They didn't mind their prayer because they didnt know their God.
If you really know your God, you will mind your prayers always.
Next post, you'll get to understand if you mind your prayer, the mind of God responds.

STARTED SOMEWHERE
In life, there is always starting point where greatness begins. Think about it. You began to live when your mother delivered you in the hospital or at home or anywhere. Do you know where your mother gave birth to you? I could answer that based on my ignorance about where I was born. All I know is that I started my life when I was born.
You started making friends when you perhaps were rolling tyres with only pants or playing with sands. That was your childhood. That was when you started friendship and not now.
For some of us that are in higher institution or are through with school, there was starting point in our education which wasn't secondary schools but kindegarten or primary school.
Did you start eating meat and breaking fish bone with your eat as you were born? No I guess. You grew teeth first before you could eat rice, meat and solid food.
It got to the point you started walking with your legs after some falling and standing and staggering like drunkard.
Believe me that you gotta start living the examplary life which is controlled by Spirit and wisdom of God. Start blessing people with your prayers, helping hands and encouraging words and giving gifts of hope and joy to everyone you meet including your enemies although it might be difficult but believe me God is by your side to protect and comfort you. Starting point sometimes looks critical for you to reiterate and apply towards to the lengthy steps to the destination and greatness.
