If you want to pray on time, every time, then this tip might be the very thing that's been unconsciously holding you back from enjoying and truly benefitting from your daily prayers.
Personally I did this years ago, because I couldn't fathom the point of praying… without doing this first. However, for a lot of people this little trick that will take a few minutes a day, will make all the difference in the quality of your prayers - and increase your desire to do them regularly and consistently.
As an added benefit, just by doing this one time in your life, you increase the chance that in any one of your 5 daily prayers… you might just have a totally mind-blowing, life-changing insight.
