So many Christians live with guilt because they don’t pray enough. “Pray enough” always means “more than I am doing now”. Sure, we all may need to strengthen and lengthen our prayer times. Yet, in a world of stressful schedules, if you imagine “enough” to be long undistracted private times, you are probably not going to make it. Solution? Create an attitude of constant prayer. Steal moments during the day to pray. Talk to your Father throughout the day. Send Him love notes and thank you messages throughout the day, not unlike the texts you send to your friends. Stop letting guilt paralyze your prayer life.
Father, grant us a heart for prayer that seeks to be in constant communication with You! Teach us how to rest in the relationship we have with You without stressing over it. Amen.
