Do you struggle praying? I've just finished re-reading an article on prayer, or more correctly on diagnosing a sick prayer life. The conclusion was that we struggle with prayer because we are sinners, not a great surprise but a helpful reminder. But it was also very helpful in suggesting three viruses that infect our thinking be it consciously or subconsciously. Here they are:
1. We doubt God is able
2. We doubt that God is willing
3. We misunderstand our relationship with him.
These three thoughts lead us not to make use of the immense privilege that is ours, the antidote to them is grace as seen in the gospel.
