Thinking about my Prayer Life

I was reading the following devotional as I have been reviewing my personal Christian walk.  I was inspired by this writing of J.R. Miller.  I hope you will read it and receive a nugget of wisdom from 1903 that is still needed today and every day after.

Prayer in the Christian Life  J. R. Miller, 1903
"Pray without ceasing." 1 Thessalonians 5:17
What place should prayer have in a Christian's life? Should we pray little or much? Should we confine our praying to certain days—Sundays, for example; or to certain hours or moments of our days—mornings, for example, than evenings? Should we pray only about certain things, certain affairs, certain portions of our life? Are there things we have no permission to take to God in prayer? Should we pray only in certain places—in our accustomed closet or room at home, or in places set apart for divine worship? Is there any place, where we may not pray?
