As Christians we are never more complicated, complex and contradictory than when we talk about prayer.
Let's put that to the test.
Hands up all those who believe that prayer should have a high priority among us? (There's a good church, hands up everywhere; in fact, I think it's unanimous!)
Hands up all those who feel that they pray too much too often? (Hardly a movement in the congregation).
Hands up all those who don't pray as much or as often as they should. (Hmm, a veritable forest of arms; another unanimous vote).
Why do you think it is that many (most? all?) believers say that they believe in the priority and power of prayer BUT (and here's the kicker) they do not practice what they believe!
The answer? We don't really believe in prayer at all.
