Years ago, I heard a formula for praying based on the Lord's Prayer, it was called ACTS. Each letter stood for something else.
Adoration-realizing who and what God is.
Confession-realizing our sinful nature and short comings in the eyes of God
Thanksgiving-realizing that everything we have and are comes as a result of God's blessing
Supplication-realizing that we can do nothing for ourselves, but asking God to supply what we need
I also heard about something that a group of people were told to try. They were to pray out lout, just one sentence and thank God for something, anything. They didn't get too far B4 instead of thanking God, they were instead asking Him for things. And, I would say that is typical of all of us.
