Prayer...
You want to say something new, something earth changing...something other than "God, help me!" tired of saying things about yourself. You want to be ok, not show weakness...but you forget you are talking to the creator of the universe...the creator of you. The words don't have to be big...just a simple confession...I can't do this. Why is communicating so hard? I long to be able to pray in the same way that I would talk to a friend...in open honesty.
I think this is the main thing I learned about myself and my prayer life this past month while we were talking about spiritual disciplines. What do you find the hardest in your prayer life?

"You who live in heaven hear the prayers of us who live in time
We can't see what's ahead and we cannot get free of what we've left behind
I'm reeling from the voices screaming in my ears
All these words of shame and doubt, blame and regret
I can't see how You're leading me unless You've led me there
Where I'm lost enough to let myself be led
And so You've been here all along, I guess
It's just Your ways and You are just plain hard to get..."
