This one is a bit tricky, but I will do my very best to try to explain it to you 
Because I live in an area with many Atheists, I have learned to pray in my head, so to speak. What I always do is clasp my hands together, place them in my lap (I know it’s highly informal and disrespectful, but I have to do it this way), look down towards my hands, and close my eyes. From there, I will pray about whatever I want or need to. It’s almost like reading a book, except you are the one who creates the words. Once I finish my prayer, I follow the same order in reverse. I know I sound like I’m crazy, but this is what I have to do. Where I currently reside, people have been beat up and nearly killed for saying prayers aloud. It’s terrible.
I hope I could help you out! If you ever want to talk about anything, feel free to PM or email me.
Much Love!

You know when someone does something to you and you think back over and over about what you could have said or done differently to sound cooler or come out victorious or what you would like to do to get justice? Do you say all of it out loud to yourself? That is how I pray. My prayers come in the form of rants. About myself, situations, even for thanking God I just let it all pour out uncensored, without even thinking about what to say. It may be a little bit easier to keep it in your head doing it that way instead of the repetitive prayers that we all memorized as kids, maybe? I’m not sure what kind of praying you’re doing.

It takes practice, more for some of us than others. The first thing you need to learn to do is to quiet your mind – push away your daily worries and cares, so that you can concentrate on God.

Choose a few lines of scripture and read it slowly. Think about it, and put yourself in the scene. Meditate on how you would feel, for instance, if you were there when Lazarus was raised from the dead. Praise the Lord for his power and love. And then you may want to ask the Lord to raise you up from what is dead
inside of you,(unforgiveness, resentment, etc.) and to fill you with His love.
