What happens when we pray? Why do we pray? How do we pray? Prayer has been a topic that has spurred countless books to be written. Endless sermons to be preached. And yet, we still have questions.
Perhaps we have questions because prayer is something that we don't learn through books, so much as by doing. I learned to pray with my parents before bed and around the dinner table as they first modeled prayer to my brothers and I and then invited us to pray. We learned by doing.
As we learn more about praying there will be times when it doesn't go quite as we anticipated. Times when fatigue takes over. Times when our mind wonders to our to-do list or anything other than God. But God continually, graciously, invites us to be in relationship with the Divine who loves us through prayer.
How is your prayer life? How are you growing in prayer?
