"When you pray, enter into your closet and ... pray to thy Father which is in secret. (Matt 6:6). Prayer is an effort of the will. After we have entered our secret place and have shut the door, the most difficult thing to do is to pray; we cannot get our minds into working order, and the first thing that conflicts is wandering thoughts. ... We have to discipline our minds and concentrate on wilful prayer.
From the book My Utmost for His Highest Aug 23rd, by Oswald Chambers

"You ask and receive not, because you ask amiss." If you ask for things from life instead of from God, you ask amiss, i.e., you ask from a desire for self realization. The more you realize yourself, the less you will seek God. "Seek and ye shall find." Get to work, narrow your interest to this one. Have you ever sought God with your whole heart, or have you only given a languid cry to Him after a twinge of moral neuralgia? Seek concentrate, and you will find."
