Who's your audience?
Christians who have struggled with prayer—both laity and clergy. I heard from a rural pastor who said he had grown weary of shepherding his small flock. My story reminded him that we can have a remarkable and personal relationship with our heavenly Father and with each other in spite of problems. That's why I say that my circumstances are not as important as the struggle to learn how to address any amount of circumstances through prayer. That's a struggle a lot of people of faith understand. I wonder if we don't talk more about prayer success than about the journey. It's the journey that matters more.
