I know prayer works. But I always find it difficult to pray. Even when I start, I quit again. How can I be consistent in my prayer life?

Prayer is only for poor and lazy people... Go and use your brain to change your situation and the world, it is not for decoration..

Your prayers don’t have to be long and repetitive. Just say whatever is on your mind, wrap it up, and get back to your productive life.

“And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.” Matthew 6:7-8. The Lord’s Prayer, given by Jesus, is less than 1 minute long.

"But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly." - Matthew 6:6

One can also pray in a whisper, or silently in one's heart - as GOD knows the heart (Matthew 6:8, Hebrews 4:12); pray as often as possible... (1 Thessalonians 5:17).

Peace and blessings.

Beloved, I was once in this situation when I knew I needed an intimate relationship with the Almighty. I needed more than the shallow prayer life of Christians around me. My soul thirstieth for God. I wanted a deeper christian experience. Thanks be to His holy name because he answered me!
Now to your question, what you need is simply the baptism of the Holy ghost!
However, before the Holy ghost baptism, you must have genuinely been born again i.e. saved from sin. That's step 1.
Step 2 requires that you be sanctified i.e. have God remove the Adamic nature of the love for and hunger to sin from your life. You become purified!
Then, you are ready for step 3 which is Holy ghost baptism.
All of these can be achieved through faith in the atoning blood of Jesus Christ.
He paid the price for all on the cross.
Please don't let anybody discourage you for this yearning, the Spirit of God wanted you to have a deeper fellowship with the Trinity.
Congratulations as you'll surely find the Lord if you seek Him truly and sincerely with the whole of your heart!!!

You know this, yet you on argued that "god'' is a being that would expect you to rant endlessly before he listens.
