What exactly does it mean to pray? We worship a God who loves us beyond our understanding, yet for many, prayer may be limited to turning to God only when we need something, or when we're at the end of our rope. Often the focus can be limited to asking for specific results, with a fixed idea of what God's answer should be. And when the answer is slow to come or not what we expect, we may feel let down or forgotten. We may also feel uncomfortable showing our real selves, or sharing our real feelings. |
