When You Don’t Feel Like Praying
SUMMARY :
Prayer is talking with God, which requires submitting to a holy King. It is also where we learn complete dependence on our heavenly Father. If prayer feels challenging, remember that we don’t need self-discipline to pray more; we simply need to learn greater dependence on God. As you pray, be specific, be persistent, be expectant, and be yourself.
Does prayer ever feel like a transaction to you?
You bring a need and wait for an answer. But God wants so much more than that! Let’s find out what it really looks!
KEY SCRIPTURE :
“This, then, is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’”
Matthew 6:9-13 NIV

Prayer can be neatly placed in the ‘boring, but important’ category of life, alongside Leviticus, algebra, and flossing.”
