Am I the only one who struggles with prayer?
Probably not.
So what should we do when we struggle and grow discouraged with prayer? Keep on praying! Although I may stray from prayer for a day or two I’m always drawn back. At the core of my being I have a heart hunger for God, a yearning to know Him and be known by Him. It is an “itch” that only prayer can scratch. And I am determined to do what Jesus teaches us to do—to pray and never give up!
“One day Jesus told his disciples a story to show that they should always pray and never give up.”
— Luke 18:1 (NLT)
Lord Jesus, I confess that I am often tempted to give up on prayer. Forgive me. Help me. Teach me to pray. Amen.
