The dynamics of prayer are simple but also complex. Is it possible to pray better? Why do many ,perhaps most, Christians struggle to pray on a regular basis? How often should someone pray? What should they pray about? These are all great questions.

Most Christians have been taught at some point about the need for a morning quiet time or devotional. Unfortunately, it is also something that people struggle to do consistently. It is easy to get discouraged, but maybe you could try a different approach.

“A problem shared is a problem halved,” as the saying goes. Except if that other half gets spread around in unhelpful ways! A companion proverb is “Shared joy is double joy.” But unfortunately, even good news can be passed along in a way that has negative impacts.
