Prayer comes with many challenges and struggles.   As we emphasize prayer this year, let’s begin with who is at the center of prayer. This will actually help overcome one struggle with prayer. Paul Miller in his book, A Praying Life writes, “…many people struggle to learn how to pray because they are focusing on praying, not on God. Making prayer the center is like making conversation the center of a family mealtime. In prayer, focusing on the conversation is like trying to drive while looking at the windshield instead of through it. It freezes us, making us unsure of where to go. Conversation is only the vehicle through which we experience one another. Consequently, prayer is not the center of this book. Getting to know a person, God, is the center.” (p 20)

So, as you pray today, put God at the center and pour out your heart to Him.
