Almost every Christian when asked about prayer has admitted to struggling with it. We know the Bible says we should pray. We (say we) believe God answers prayer. But we struggle with it. Perhaps one reason we struggle is an (unspoken) expectation on our part that we shouldn’t struggle – that prayer should come naturally and easily to us. So then we conclude that there must be something wrong with us. Well, of course there are many things wrong with us! But struggling with prayer is to be expected for we are engaged in a spiritual battle in which prayer plays a major role.
