And the truth is, I've seen my laziness too. It just feels more comfortable to pray the safe, easy prayers. The right words without the right heart. Thank you for this, Carlie and for sharing Elisa's book with us.<br />Blessings to you, my sister.

Thank you for your candor about your own prayer struggles, too. I know we all find ourselves in that place from time to time when getting naked with God is too intimidating and frightening, when it never has to be.<br />A blessed Easter to you and yours!Martha Jane Orlandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620499267401065780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4831080157336920858.post-37196835889628421122019-04-20T10:48:16.597-04:002019-04-20T10:48:16.597-04:00I love that prayer, April!

We can be confident that it is God himself, who works in us both to will and to work for His good pleasure.

One of my prayers that I whisper often is literally one word, "Closer" because I do most definitely always want to have a strong desire to continually draw closer. This had me thinking on what if there are any areas that I've been hesitant because I am unsure if I can or (be honest) I will want to do what isAprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280632359232352133noreply@blogger.com
