What to strive for in prayer

Psalm 34:1 (KJV) summarizes our ideal approach to prayer,
I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
We can pray about all kinds of stuff, so long as, as noted in James 1:6, that stuff conforms with God's will. But, as this verse notes, praise must be the foundation of our prayers. And that praise should occur "continually," which, as noted in a previous post, essentially means "very frequently."

So as we approach our prayers, let's let simple and frequent words of praise form the foundation of those prayers.
