Excellent article. It definitely makes me consider what’s really important in my life. Thank you.

I actually find you through Google because I couldn’t find that verse, though I was looking for it. So thank you for including the Scripture reference so I could find it.

I love Graham Cooke… so I’ll hunt up a copy of that book! Thanks!

I hear you, Clara! I think one of the rhythms of prayer that is learned over time is a back-and-forth kind of listening and speaking that happens. I often begin praying for those I’m concerned about with simply my knowledge of the situation, what I want God to do, etc… but as I enter into prayer and take time to listen to God, I oftentimes gain insight or new kinds of requests to pray.

One book that has greatly helped me understand this dynamic is Graham Cooke’s little booklet Crafted Prayer.

Other times I will use the Lord’s prayer as a guiding prayer. I pray each clause of the prayer and then pause and pray the main ideas of that clause into the situation or person I am holding before the Lord. just a couple suggestions.

I am definitely learning, too! I oftentimes feel incredibly “out of shape” when I read about Jesus praying all night!

I have trouble praying for long hours at a time about something I’m concerned about…like a sick friend or relative. There are just so many sentences I can think of to praise him and then to ask for healing for my friend, for example. How do you guys pray for so long? What do you say, specifically, that can make prayers last for hours… or even all night? I just can’t think of wht to say after awhile.

I love the honesty in this statement. …of coming to God and being totally vulnerable with where you are at. And God is not surprised or shocked. He understands and is filled with compassion.

God help us to be like this with every one of our struggles….

“….help me want to!”

That in and of itself is a great prayer Clara; an acknowledgment of need, humility, dependence, and a seed of faith. Reminds me of, “I believe! Help my unbelief!”
