asking for help

i say that i believe that prayer makes all the difference in the world. i read verses like ephesians 6:18, "and pray in the spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayer and requests. with this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the lord's people," but i don't think i act like i believe these words are true.
all occasions? i'm ashamed of how few occasions i really do pray.
the last few days, lacey has asked me to pray with her before we start studying, and again today, when we walked over to give shots for the first time, and again later when she wasn't feeling well. she's been such a good reminder for me to ask for his help.

the command is for all occasions-that means everything.

"ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. for everyone who asks receives; those who seek find; and to those who knock, the door will be opened.
which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? if you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!"
-matthew 7:7-11
