Some Ideas to Focus Praying

Get some place where you won’t be distracted: like a library, park, prayer closet, or on a hike.
Start with thanksgiving – God has blessed us all richly.
Praise God in song.  Use a hymnal if you would like.
Try praying in 5 minute intervals for different topics like your family, community, state, church, ministries and nation.
Write out your prayers. 
Read and pray scripture out loud.
Keep prayer requests in constant view (such as those from friends, your church, and ministries you support).
Draw while you pray.
Play instrumental music in the background.  Elijah did this when seeking the will and counsel of God (2 Kings 3:15).
Listen in silence to revel in the presence of God and practice hearing His voice.
