I am trying to get more prayer into my daily life, but find my mind wanders so frequently when I am saying the memorized prayers I learned as a child (and that was a very long time ago). I do talk throughout the day to the Holy Family, sometimes out loud, sometimes just in my mind. Is this considered prayer?
 
Yes.

Prayers can be all kinds of things. Offering up sufferings to God, or doing something good with the intention of doing it for Jesus can also be prayers. Conversation with God can be one of the best prayers because the words come from the heart, and not simply the mind. Memorized prayers are also good especially in a group setting so all can join. I recommend them all.
 
Yes, it is considered prayer. As long as your distractions are not willful, your recited prayers will not be in vain.
 
Our minds are made to wander. It doesn’t invalidate prayer.

Always prayer. The words do not have to be set prayers. I talk to God all day long! Just talking, rather like what we are doing right now. Since I’ve been doing this, God has helped me so much. It’s a lovely thing to do and He loves hearing our prayer.

Pray without ceasing. : )
 
I always like to think about letting your life be a prayer! Offering up all that you do for the Church, for your intentions, etc. is in my experience a great way to bring more prayer into one’s life. Plus, if you think about everything you do as a prayer, it can keep you out of sin pretty nicely 😉

Thank you everyone, for your responses. I will talk away to Heaven during the day, it makes me quite happy to do so.
