Most people believe prayer is a good thing but feel their prayer life could improve. What questions or obstacles have you faced when it comes to prayer?

Protestants are afraid that guidelines to prayer and written prayer are akin to praying in vain repetitions - despite the fact that most will sing worships songs over and over without blinking. I think this fear makes it difficult to grow in prayer - at least for me, without having a schedule and some material, I was not able to commit to a disciplined and eventually deep prayer life.

The lack of discipline and commitment makes for a challenging and sometimes non-existent prayer life.

Time...sometimes we can get so busy as Christians or just with life itself that there is hardly any time left in the day for prayer. So I make it my number one priority and get up an hour earlier in the morning to spend time in prayer with God before work and also do the same before I go to bed. I pray as the HS prompts me during the day for someone or a situation or anything that is occurring in real-time. :)

Blessings!!!
