I have been praying for more than 30 years. I can remember talking to God through all of my life’s watershed moments:
So you’d think by now I would have this prayer thing sorted.
But the notion of a two-way conversation with a God I can’t literally see or hear is, for me, one of the most elusive and frustrating elements of living as a Christian. I don’t remember anyone ever giving me a prayer starter kit.
I learned to read, write, complete mathematical equations and play guitar in a fraction of the time I’ve been praying. But trying to pray leaves me feeling like I missed a class everyone else attended.

Here is what they said happens when people pray — and I think they’re right:
How does this sound to you? Scary, intriguing, utterly confusing?
Prayer is a mysterious thing, simple but profound. Billions of words are prayed every day. God listens to them all.
My favorite person to pray with is my son Archie. Why? Because when he prays, he presumes God will hear him, and whether God’s answer is yes, no or not yet, Archie expects Him to answer.
That’s what I’m working on.
Maybe, like me, you struggle with believing you’re not good at prayer. Where do you go from here?
Daily prayer is an essential practice for Christians. Whether you pray regularly or are trying to build the habit, these prompts are a helpful starting place.
The Christian faith can sometimes feel like an uphill battle. That’s because there are things that are determined to get in our way. But those things ultimately have no power. Here is an in-depth look at spiritual warfare.
God calls us to pray for our leaders — that they would submit to His leadership for the sake of His will being done and for the advancement of His kingdom.
