We say, “I have to pray more.” Prayer is more than a job to be done; it is a conversation to be had and a relationship to be cultivated. The goal of prayer is to learn to delight in conversation with our Lord. It is always a delight to have conversations with the ones we love. It is not a burden; it is a joy. We look forward to those times together. Sometimes just being together is a wordless conversation; it is basking in each other’s presence. Saying less may be praying more. Listening in silence is also praying.
“But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint” Isaiah 40:31 (KJV)
