What obstacle do you struggle with when it comes to prayer? What helps you overcome that obstacle?
-
The obstacles is busyness of life. Being busy sometimes keeps me to forget my daily prayer.
-
Allowing myself to be too busy is by far the greatest of these obstacles in my life. As a mother to children with special needs, a teacher, and a missionary, there are always unscheduled demands on my time, so even if I schedule time with the Lord, something inevitably tries to interrupt. I am becoming better to plan for back-up with life’s demands while I am spending time with the Lord, so they can handle those interruptions.
-
I am one of those individuals who struggles with the right thing to say. I have learned to take a breath and just say it however it comes out; He knows what I mean.
-
I think the distractions when I sit down make it the hardest. My brain starts thinking of all that I did that day, or all that I still have to do.
-
I am a multitasker. I will find 100 things to do while still trying to pray. I have to be intentional during my prayer time to eliminate all distractions. Spending quality time with God, without distractions, allows me to really hear from Him.
