Prayer

I've been working on a talk for the first week of Can You Hear Me? - a series on prayer. The difficult thing, as with a lot of series that we talk about, is that I don't know a great deal about prayer. Don't get me wrong, I know with my head a little bit about prayer, and how it works, and doesn't or shouldn't work. But as far as being a good prayer, I'm a bum.

A little over a year ago we as a staff took it upon ourselves to work on some things in our lives that need working on. One of mine was my prayer life. I got better. Then I got worse again. Now I'm working on it yet again. This series is going to be as much for me as it will be for everyone else who shows up.

Prayer always seems to be a difficult thing for just about everybody. Don't get me wrong, I've met some incredible prayers, but even they would say that they don't pray as much as they would like. I'm excited for this series. Maybe I'll learn something about myself and how God wants to communicate with me.
