4. I am always trying to discipline myself and my schedule to be able to pray more. I don't particularly enjoy prayer itself, but I sure do enjoy the blessings that God gives when I do pray.

I pray a lot, not because I am disciplined or godly, but because I truly believe that much prayer does result in much blessing." Dee Duke
