We welcome you to join us as we study J.I. Packer's (with Carolyn Nystrom) Praying: Finding Our Way Through Duty to Delight.
Using a blog format for discussions will allow each of us to move at our own pace as we work through the material and the study questions for each chapter found at the end of the book.
Those of us who struggle with prayer (consistency, focus, methods) may find the study of this book helpful. Our blogmaster will post the chapter questions and our responses will be included as comments to the original post. Please feel free to quote other sources, poems, hymns, along with your own personal thoughts and reflections.

Chapter One. The God We Pray To. Question 1.
Bishop Ryle wrote, "If I know anything of a Christian's heart, you are often sick of your own prayers" (p. 17). How does this connect, or not connect, with your own experience?
haha...how does this connect? well, right now, I'm leaving a comment here instead of praying in my journal (I write out some of my prayers in order to stay focused...I work with small children and adopt their attention spans...actually, I think they have longer attention spans than I do)
BTW, for those who don't recognize my display name: I have two lovely daughters and am a nanny to a little girl and a littler boy (with another baby on the way). Now you should know who I am :^ )
