Have you ever felt like your prayers somehow didn’t measure up?
-
I have felt that what I was talking to God about was not what He would want me to say or feel, but I also knew that if I did say what was right, it would not be honest

My husband grew up in the church and ended up getting his Bachelor Degree in Theology. Like Dr. Banks said in the beginning when you hear someone else who has this amazing prayer, that is my husband. Just hearing him pray over us, it makes me feel wonderful but I also feel like I am slacking at praying. I have noticed my prayer has changed over the past several months but I keep saying to myself I am a newbie. Also, God doesn’t care as long as I am talking to him

I have felt this way many times. The reality is that I don;t measure up. When the Holy Spirit takes over, I experience comfort and know that I have the privilege of everything Jesus did for me. Two things help me. Praying God;s word gets me beyond my human limitations and helps me to remember that I should listen to what God has to say. The other thing that helps is to memorize bits of scripture. When I begin to meditate on God;a word, He takes over and that is a wonderful feeling.

Yes, I feel like Moses and not able to get the words out. To hear a pastor pray, and then hear what I have… I thought I needed an Aaron in my life. I’d find myself saying “Oh, I know you know what I am trying to say God”. Now I just talk to God like He is sitting right next to me holding a normal conversation, and it feels just right. I’ve never felt closer to Him.

Yep! Sometimes I feel like the prayers are half-hearted,canned, or just not meaningful. I am judging myself. Not good!
