Whether we happen to be new believers or those who have walked with the Lord for many years, our Heavenly Father has given us the joy and privilege of praying to Him. However, we all seem to struggle with this gift of prayer, often treating prayer less as a privilege to enjoy and more as a chore to neglect. When we do pray, distractions can easily crowd our minds, and our requests can become more about what we want than about what God wants. No wonder, then, that God would feel so distant when we pray.
