Need help about praying

[Ceecal]

I pray in the morning. I have a set of prayers that I say - it takes
me about an hour to say them all.
Lately I am having trouble praying, I seem to get nervous or edgy and I can’t seem to finish them.
any suggestion would be helpful
thank you

I think if that were me I’d say the prayer to St Michael, then continue with my other prayers (even if I didn’t feel like it)

Prayers don’t have to be formal or long all the time. You might try just talking to God one on one in your own words. When prayer becomes a problem it helps to ask the Holy Spirit for help.

It may be time to move beyond a set list of formal prayers and include time for quiet meditation, perhaps aided by a short gospel passage, possibly some journaling, but with some quiet time for reflection, to let God speak to you. don’t give up that hour of prayer, but consider doing it in front of the Blessed Sacrament any time that is possible, or in a congenial location, walking maybe if that helps, or lessen the formal prayer so you have time to read the day’s gospel and meditate on it.
