Our prayer life and rule of prayer will be shaped by the different stages of our spiritual journey as well. Many people who have just come to know Christ find that their words flow easily. Prayer is a joy for them. But as with romantic relationships there is a natural movement beyond this honeymoon phase. When feelings of intense connection with God ebb we have a new opportunity to engage God - not based on cool spiritual vibes but as an expression of our genuine love for God. Times of spiritual dryness are normal for almost everyone even if we havent sinned and to the best of our knowledge havent done anything to wall off our relationship with God. God may allow this dryness so that we can mature in our relationship with him and learn to seek him not for an ecstatic spiritual experience but out of a deeper love and commitment.

By the time we were knit in our mothers wombs our lives were like open books before Him--every sentence read every paragraph indented every chapter titled every page numbered. He knew it all in advance--all the sin all the selfishness every weakness. Yet He chose to love us--lavishly.

If you are religious pray. If you are philosophical contemplate. If you are spiritual meditate.

There is something in us that fears prayer as a maggot fears light. We must do violence to this voice for it is not ourselves. It is our Enemy.

Patience is the path to opportunities. We gain patience through prayer and meditation. Within that vein we never consider ourselves having failed.

There can be no prevailing in prayer without travailing in prayer.
