Prayer (Part 2)

Hi, my name is Dave Scherrerrer and I am the founder of One Hundred Fold Ministries. You have found our podcast that we call Kingdom Offerings and we are halfway through a series where we are taking a hard look deep into our lives and imagining what would it take to become even more effective heavenly kingdom citizens while not waiting for heaven, more effective kingdom citizens right now here on earth. We're talking about the traditional disciplines or the habits of the faith that when they are employed with constancy, which I guess is why they call them disciplines, they draw us into the kingdom of God. They keep us connected to God and conversely when we find ourselves increasingly discontent with things of the world, we will find ourselves more at home in the throne room of Jesus.

The last time we were together we were looking at the discipline of prayer and we found it to be a mysterious and simply difficult exercise. It's totally human, I think, to want to talk about our desires, our struggles, hoping that someone, anyone, somewhere will care enough to listen to us. That someone would then understand the trials we're going through, the victories we're experiencing. Most people we come into contact with, it seems to me, they want to tell their story, not necessarily listen to mine.
