Have you ever gone to a new gym. Planet Fitness for example. They have all these machines to help you work out and lift weights. They are designed to help you not only make you stronger but help you have correct form. You can lift much more weight on the machine because your not using extra muscle and brain power to lift. You just push or pull the machines do the rest. I sit and watch the big kids as they use the free weights. They have gone through Mitch training to be able to do this.
The same can be said for cyclist. As a child I had training wheels and my father holding me up. One day my father took the training wheels off and I began life as a real cyclist.
Why would we think that praying would be any different. If it was so easy why did the disciples ask Jesus what to say. The Lord’s Prayer is a powerful prayer but it was meant to be a guide (training wheels or lifting machine). It shows a form we can use in our life’s.
We should find some prayers that we can use grime when we wake up, before we eat, go to work, plan out a schedule. Then as we become used to praying put these prayers into your own words. Talk to our Father all day not just when you want a favor
