Devoted to Prayer

This is a hard one to talk about myself, given I don't pray nearly as much as I should. I have often meditated on what the bible means to " pray without ceasing." I try hard to pray for those who come to my mind during the day, but I don't always do that. Yet, the Early church met every day in the temple courts. I'm sure all those in attendance were prayed for and people cared enough to ask them about how they were the next day. But, what does that mean for us today? I know I am not devoted as I should be to prayer. So, how do I change that? How do I change my character so that I am compelled to pray for my brothers and sisters in Christ?
