Five reasons why I sometimes want to avoid praying:
- “I don’t wanna talk about it.”
- “Everything’s great–what’s there to pray about?”
- “This is silly. Why would I waste God’s time praying about this?”
- “This is hopeless. Why would I waste God’s time praying about this?”
- “Man, I’m just not feelin’ it today.”

4. REMIX: It won’t change anything.
Implication – prayer is about changing outcomes.
Reality – prayer is never first and foremost about changing outcomes.
You’re probably different than me though. You wouldn’t understand.

Like “he’s my boss, this is our 10 minute morning meeting where I get a list of things to not screw up” starts to suck really quickly. Learning.
