Prayer is not for the faint of heart. It takes real faith and discipline to engage in prayer. Prayer is not a give-me wishlist exercise but rather an exercise of heavy lifting. But the good news or God-news is this, ”Our prayers may be awkward. Our attempts may be feeble. But since the power of prayer is in the one who hears it and not in the one who says it, our prayers do make a difference." -Max Lucado
