“My understanding of prayer is that this is how I communicate with the God who knows and loves me just as I am. But over the years, I found that too often, I was "doing" prayer as a series of tasks--albeit worthy ones--that I desired to complete. If I missed part of my process, I derided myself. I don't say this to disdain traditional prayer. But in my desire to get prayer "right," I sometimes fell into the trap of going throught the motions.” FaithJesusPrayerScriptureCatholicism Book:Jesus Every Day, Jesus Every Way: A Weekly Devotional Source: Jesus Every Day, Jesus Every Way: A Weekly Devotional
