On Prayer

I have no idea why I cannot seem to spend more time in prayer. Actually maybe I do, but there is a sense that unless the Lord grants me grace, I will never be able to pray the way that I ought to pray.

The mind is a terrible thing. So many thoughts that distract, so often wandering off and thinking things that I know I should not be thinking.

I can't even spend a half an hour with Jesus, but I can spend hours upon hours just surfing on the internet or even reading a book. Unless the Lord should grant me a glorious revelation of Himself, one does sense that one will continue to languish in a spiritual dead-end.

Oh Lord teach me to pray. Teach me to persevere in prayer.
