This morning I read Matthew 6, where Jesus offers instructions on how to pray. The model he gives is The Lord's Prayer. In another of the Gospel accounts, Jesus shares this prayer in response to the disciples' request "teach us to pray."
Exploring and strengthening your own prayer life would be a wonderful discipline for the 40 days of Lent. You could do some study or reading on the practice of prayer. You could simply commit yourself to a more regular routine of prayer.
From the scriptures, we know that praying isn't something that just happens or automatically comes easy. If Jesus is giving his closest followers instructions, it ought not surprise us that we also need some assistance.
