Some of us are better at praying and others not so much. I am very academic so reading the Bible comes naturally to me, but when it comes to prayer, I often struggle. I make the effort and put in my time, but sometimes we misunderstand what we are trying to accomplish with our prayers. Do we seek to get things as if our Father is a cosmic vending machine? You know the prayer, “Give me this, give me that, give me this, give me that…time for bed!”
