Is prayer often the first thing to go when life gets busy? Are you one of those people who would say, “You know, my prayer life could be better than it is.”
This is part two of the Family Life interview with Paul Miller. It is a well spent twenty minutes. Listen to it while you eat lunch. You won't be disappointed.
Paul Miller discusses why we don't persist in prayer. He begins with a spiritual diagnosis instead of time management suggestions. The problem with prayerlessness is not self-discipline, which most people think, “If I were more spiritual.” The key to having a praying life is having a permanent sense of a poverty of spirit, “I can’t do life on my own." Then, he begins to encourage us in a way that engenders persistence in prayer.
