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.
