Prayer can feel more holy than you’re capable. I struggled through the same thing. Feeling like prayer was another obligation and a box to check off rather than an intimate desire to know Christ more.
But it was through the understanding of what prayer is and why it’s important that I transformed my prayer life. Of course, these tips help keep me on track, but these books were transforming in my understanding and desire. Creating open and clear communication that helped me experience God, not just know him.
