Problem with Praying..

What is it that prevents you from praying, considering you are a good Christian in other issues? Using our God given ability to sense the various needs in our life and streamlining those thoughts to ask, seek and knock seems to be a problem.

Most would want their work cut out, streamlined, have a guiding channel for free flow. Mental fatigue apart from the physical is quite draining. Maybe this hits us the hardest at the thought of initiating prayer

Giving expression to our deepest needs, praying for others with empathy are no easy tasks. These demand mental exertion.

To have a written plan to pray helps in initiating prayer, write down the various issues that require prayer as and when they crop up so that your mind doesn't need to take a sudden load at the thought of prayer.

Pray your plan.

Yes Aurun, we need to be self-controlled and dispcline to pray. 1 Peter 4:7 - The end of all things are near. Therefore be clear minded and self-controlled so that you can pray. I usually pray when I need something, or that someelse needs prayer or request that they need prayer.
