Prayer. Burden? Joy? Guilt Producer?
Posted on March 3, 2011 by Pastor Tom
So this weekend I’m talking about prayer. I’ve had an interesting journey of prayer. Sometimes, I love it. Sometimes I struggle with it. Sometimes it feels like I’m just going through the motions. But I have to remember, prayer is not the be all and end all. It’s the One I’m praying to. He is the be all and end all. Prayer is our way to communicate with Him. So I need, we need to see prayer not as some duty to get over with but the way we connect with the Our dearest and most powerful Lord and Friend. Maybe looking at it that way can help transform prayer from some burden to something joyous. If you have any stories about your journey with prayer, please share. We all need to keep learning.

Once again Tom, you expressed your thoughts in a simple yet profound way.
I too struggle with prayer not because I fail to see the importance. Rather it is because I feel naked before God when I pray, as Adam felt naked after he sinned. I hope to develop a mind set for pray similar to that displayed by David and Paul (as human examples).
Regards,
Berns
