moish,
One way to daven is just to open your heart and talk. I mean really talk to Hashem. In English, for whatever you need.
“Hi Hashem, it’s me moish again. I know I’m trying to do X but I could really use your help so what do you say? Also, please let the Mets win the world series. Thanks!”
That is called davening. Joseph and Squeak might not approve, but if you talk from the heart and just ask/say what is on your mind you might find it easier to daven.
