Sometimes I pray not out of desire but because it is the next thing on my to-do-list. While it sounds much less romantic, I think that God regards the time I've set aside for Him as an offering. It is a small and meek offering, but an offering that expresses my love and gratitude for Him nonetheless. Thank you Jenifer for speaking this hard truth: prayer is important but it is also hard. I look forward to learning new ways to engage in prayer and connect with God.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05593964826291513723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2766259787611337956.post-33317754463037743302017-02-22T15:19:16.484-06:002017-02-22T15:19:16.484-06:00I agree, it shouldn't be just a check off thin...I agree, it shouldn't be just a check off thing. I think God likes little prayers throughout the day too, but a purposeful prayer time is so important.

I struggle to carve out a prayer time, and follow through. Mainly because I don't want to do it just to check it off a list. I want to avoid becoming stale so often I avoid dedicated prayer altogether, just throwing up prayers throughout the day without ever stopping to be still before God.Heather Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06815204762105256632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2766259787611337956.post-69359320904791157572017-02-22T14:12:29.336-06:002017-02-22T14:12:29.336-06:00When prayer begins so does Satan attacks!

At that moment I try and ask God to help keep my mind, thoughts and words focused on Him. Sometimes I will quote scripture.

So grateful that as I have grown older, I have learned to talk to my soul, thus giving the push I need at times. Opening up to the Psalms always helps me to begin to focus and pray too. Thank yo for sharing about this book! Joanne Violahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07737190992108764966noreply@blogger.com
