Hey, Jen, this was a great post. I think a lot of us struggle with prayer. Have you read “A Praying Life” by Paul E. Miller? I recently finished it, and it is excellent.

What an awesome story. Thank you for sharing. It truely brought tears to my eyes due to the pure beauty and innocence of her intent. I only wish we were all more like Children coming before Jesus with a thankful heart.

What a beautiful reminder, Jen. Thank you for sharing it.

On Friday my 16-year-old son came home and said, “Guess what we did in Latin today?” Their teacher, mindful of Reformation Day, had them practice Latin translation by translating a number of Luther’s 95 theses. I was thankful that this good teacher had remembered this important day in history, because I had not. Now I’m similarly thankful that another important person in my life–you!–remembered this day in history. The lesson you present here is so gentle and kind yet so powerful. You are right on.

Have you read Richard Foster’s book on prayer (Prayer: Finding the Heart’s True Home)?

Thank you for your goodness and faithfulness.

So often I forget prayer is FOR ME and I should do it because GOD says I should and it will transform me, and instead look at it as a chore on my long list … thanks for the reminder!

That’s a neat Luther quote. Good reminders to carve out time for what should be our greatest priorities…otherwise lesser priorities will crowd those out and make them seem almost impossible to get to. How can I take 3 hours to pray when I have all this laundry to do?! Thanks for sharing!
