The Gentiles prayed the same thing over in over in a mechanical fashion, hoping that this prayer would be answered. However, their hearts were not in it, just like the Pharisees. Our prayers need to be pointed and genuine, not just saying certain things because they sound good.
You may set out a time to pray, and you may do it a lot, but are your prayers genuine? Do they truly come from your heart, or is it a prayer that just checks off a box or something you think sounds good? Be thoughtful in your prayers. Search your heart to find the nitty gritty things that you should be praying for, not just a flowery, feel good prayer.
