Someone you know

When you spend time praying do you find yourself feeling as if you are just reciting a shopping list or mechanically mouthing some words? In truth, prayer can become stale and mundane for many people, but this quote has helped me to remember the essence of why I pray.

"Prayer is a declaration of our dependence on God. It isn't something mechanical you do; it is somewhere you go to meet Someone you know." - Jill Briscoe

I am challenged to remember this when I next pray - to go into that quiet place and think about meeting someone I know - the Living God. I think this may make a world of difference in my prayer time. What do you think?

Living in grace
