It's always easier to point fingers, for example, at Barth or Luther, than to actually take responsibility for our own lives, acknowledging God's help!
Hi, Ben! You hit the nail on the head with this one. Like the other commentors here, I find prayer to be oh so difficult. It's tempting to think that, when I DO pray, the words just bounce off the ceiling, and hit me in the mouth. :( Slowly, however, I am learning to trust God more, even second by second.

Thanks again, for the excellent post. :)
always difficult for me
These messages are very meaningful to me. Thank you! I find myself distracted too sometimes when I pray. Please keep sending these wonderful messages
Ben, Thank you for these words and thoughts. Prayer, in particular, has always been hard for me.
