"...You’ve known people who treat prayer like a rabbit’s foot for warding off bad luck and bringing goodlies. You’ve known people who feel guilty because their quantity of prayer fails to meet some presumed standard. Maybe you are one of those people.
Prayer — it tends to become a production and a problem.
Life — it’s always a production and a problem. You cycle through your to-do list, your anxieties, distractions, pressures, pleasures, and irritants.
God — he’s there, somewhere, sometimes.
Somehow those two problematic productions and the Lord of heaven and earth don’t all get on the same page very often.
But prayer isn’t meant to be a production or a problem. And God is here, now. Prayer is meant to be the conversation where your life and your God meet..."
- D.Powlison,M.Div,P.hD
