Help!

Please pray for me. I've been sinning alot by doing other stuff even though I promise to go full steam on something for x hours (then getting so distracted that I don't even do it at all), lately, and conciously too; but I just can't seem to stop. Please pray for God to help me stop sinning, help me grow closer to Him, and for Him to have mercy on me and to forgive me even though I've committed this same sin time and time again. I do get things done in time for the ultimate deadline, but I should really do what I say I do. I am working on it, and I know God is not a cosmic teddy-bear, and realize that I have to work on it too. I'm also having a problem with speed in general. I am by nature really slow, so have little time to do stuff like read my bible work on projects I'm interested in, etc. Fast for me is really slow for alot of others, and I don't want to sacrifice quality either. I think this is part of the problem I mentioned above in that I think I kind of skive in order to have the freedom, enjoyment and break of doing my own things.I also have a tendency to pray repetitive prayers spontaneously no matter where I am out loud. I know its good to pray,but not outloud. Making people think i'm mad is not being a good witness to God, so can you please pray for God to help me pray quietly in my heart. For some reason, I find difficulty praying silently in my heart and mind. Another thing (yeah... I know this is a long prayer request list...) is I am someone whos is very fearful/ defensive (I'm not sure which. I'm not afraid persay, because I know the Almighty God is with me and protecting me and that Jesus is in me, but it seems almost instinctive). This often results in my seeming antisocial. If just typing on a forum or IM I'm fine, but when talking and personally interacting with others... If anyone has any conjectures as to why I am this way or any practical advice I got put into action that would help me, please PM me. Thanks!
