Prayer can be very challenging and I found these words in \u201cWord For Today\u201d most helpful. I hope you do too.
\nIn his book With Christ in the School of Prayer, Andrew Murray writes: \u2018None can teach like Jesus\u2026therefore we call on Him, \u201cLord, teach us to pray.\u201d A pupil needs a teacher who knows his work, who has the gift of teaching, who in patience and love will descend to the pupil\u2019s needs. Blest be God! Jesus is all this and much more\u2026Jesus loves to teach us how to pray.\u2019 If you: a) are not sure God is really listening when you talk to Him; b) don\u2019t understand why some prayers seem to go unanswered; c) wonder if you are praying \u2018right\u2019 or generally feel frustrated in prayer; d) are eager to know what to do to feel more connected with God and gain confidence that your prayers really do make a difference, say, \u2018Lord, teach me to pray.\u2019 Although there are principles of prayer that apply to everyone, God will lead each of us individually. He wants to take you just the way you are, and help you discover your own rhythm of prayer; to develop a style of prayer that maximises your relationship with Him. He wants prayer to be an easy, natural, life-giving way of communicating as you share your heart with Him and allow Him to share His heart with you. Prayer is so simple; it\u2019s nothing more than talking to God and taking time to listen to what He has to say to you. God has a personalised prayer plan for you, a way for you to communicate most effectively with Him. So begin by saying, \u2018Lord, teach me to pray.\u2019<\/p>\n
