Unceasing prayer may sound complicated, but it needn't be that way.
Do this. Change your definition of prayer. Think of prayers less as an activity for God and more as a awareness of God. Seek to live in uninterrupted awareness. Acknowledge his presence everywhere you go. As you stand in line to register your car, think, Thank you, Lord, for being here. In the grocery store as you shop, think,Your presence, my King, I welcome. As you wash the dishes, worship your Maker. Brother Lawrence did. This well-known saint called himself the "lord of all pots and pans'. In his book The Practice of the Presence of God, he wrote:
The time of business does not with me differ from the time of prayer; and in the noise and clatter of my kitchen, while several persons are at the same time calling for different things, I possess God in as great tranquility as if I were upon my knees at the blessed sacrament.
Besides, it make more sense to talk to God than mumble to yourself.
