why is it so hard to pray?  do you find that when you aren’t praying, you can think of a thousand things that you need to pray for, yet when you sit down to pray, your mind goes completely blank on the prayer stuff.  somehow though, everything that you need to do comes flooding into your mind.  it is so stinking frustrating!!!  to boot, if you have not prayed in a while, it feels like you have no idea what to say.  it’s like trying to have a conversation with someone from your past that you haven’t seen since your were young.  you know, “so…what have you been up to?”  “how have you been?”  it’s awkward, and if we are totally honest, it is so uncomfortable that you find yourself wanting to quit praying and go start on the list you have come up with in your mind.
