I. Pray where you are. God is present everywhere and ready to listen

II. Pray when possible in a quiet place where you can't be alone. It is well ti fix your mind deliberately on God, apart from confusing distractions.

III. Pray to God simply and naturally, as to a friend. Tell him what is on your mind. Get help from the prayer of others.

IV. Pray, remembering the good things God has done for you. Reckon up your blessings from time to time, and give thanks for them.

V. Pray for Gods forgiveness for the unworthy things you may have done. He is near to a humble and contrite heart.

VI. Pray for the things that you need, especially those that will make your life finer and more God like.

VII. Pray for others, remembering the situations they confront and the help they need.

VIII. Pray for the world in its need, asking God to bring better things and offering your help to them.

IX. Pray for everything else that God's will may be done in you and in the world. His purposes are deeper and wiser than anything we can imagine.

X. Pray, and then let God use you in answering your prayer.

This is food for thought. Not sure where it came from, but it kinda helped me as a little guideline.
