This advice from Pastor Adam Weber takes some of the fear out of praying
January 03, 2018
In less than an hour, three of us, including my son Justin and my friend Ken, will get together online to check on what's happening in our lives and to pray. Usually, my son-in-law Adam is part of this, but he and the family our on the East Coast this weekend.
Praying has not always come easily for me. I'm 71 years-old and have been heavily influenced by former pastors who pray using high-sounding phrases making me think that I just can't talk that way.
A couple of months ago, I found the below quote from Pastor Adam Weber who leads a series of campuses in South Dakota. He shared this on his Twitter feed. It resonated with me and made me unclinch my intestines when it came time to pray out loud.
I'm learning. My time with God has become more regular and more open. For those who experience the same challenge, here's the tweet broken into an itemized list.
- Just talk with God.
- We can’t mess it up!
- My best advice on prayer: say exactly what’s inside you.
