Have you ever felt like your prayers somehow didn’t measure up?
-
Yes many times especially praying in front of people. However, . I always start thanking Jesus and then the words start to flow.
-
Most of the time. That is why I am so grateful for this study and for all your comments.

I would be surprised, if everyone has not felt like that at one time or another. Not only did I feel inadequate in the way I prayed, I also felt intimidated.
Who was I to speak to the CREATOR of all things? Why would he listen to little old me? I was a complete mess surrounded by toxic relationships.
I knew plenty of people that could recite large parts of the Bible and could pray ever so eloquently.
I didn’t know how to pray the way they did. But, I knew I needed Him. I knew He could provide me with guidance and direction.
So, I began to pray. I would pray, as if He were sitting next to me. And, that is when I came to know Him, and a loving relationship with Him. -
Yes, and I searched literature on how to pray. I have always prayed the Lord’s Prayer and still do sometimes.
-
Yes, I did and sometimes still do at times feel that my prayers somehow didn’t measure up , but I don’t let that feelings prolonged for too long in my mind. I would remember and quote scriptures from Paul in Philippians 3:12-14, especially Philippians 3:14 – Paul said to pressed on towards the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
