251: Prayer: A Divine Gift for Strengthening Your Relationship with God with Christian Author Donald Newman

Prayer is a fundamental and essential practice in Christianity, and the majority of Christians around the world engage in prayer as a central aspect of their faith. Prayer is seen as a way to communicate with God, express gratitude, seek guidance, offer praise, and intercede for others.

Yet sometimes, as a Christ follower yourself, you may find yourself engaging in these toxic thoughts:

1. I don't know how to pray.
2. I don't have time to pray.
3. I don't want to bother God with my petty kinds of issues when so many others are suffering in the world.
4. God knows everything already. Why do I have to tell Him about things?
5. How do I really know God is there? After all, He's invisible!

If you've ever struggled with prayer, this is the episode for you! We'll tackled these tough THOUGHTS that may be standing in the way of more effective and regular communication with the God you serve and love.
