Prayer

So, I have to admit I am not the best at always saying my prayers. I try and I'm not horrible but lately I find myself thinking of so many things that I lay awake at night for a while and I am waking up a ton because of the millions of things on my mind. With that being said, I think that some of this could be settled, or I guess comforted could be a better word, if I had more faith and was more sincere in my prayers. They tell us constantly to rely on the Lord to give our hearts and our worries to him and let him be our comforter but honestly, how do you do that? I think that my biggest problem is control. I like to have control. It is probably my biggest downfall. I really need to work on this one. Any advice?

I have struggled with prayer for years. Problem is, I too, love to be in control of everything. And that doesn't really sit well with God's plans :)I find that I need to just let go. Sit before him and just be totally honest instead of trying to say the right thing. I just say I don't know, Lord. Instead of always asking for things, I sit in His presence in stillness and quiet and let Him speak to me :)
