Very strange, I think. What could this person actually find offensive??? Will pray for him.

I thought the stats about prayer were interesting too. I had one person unsubscribed in a huff though – he didn’t think it was appropriate for me to share that. Interesting, isn’t that?

Interesting what people report. I wondered how honest many of the people were in this study. I think we like to think we pray more often than we actually do. Have a great weekend Lisa

How about that?! ‘Love that Lucado quote at the end of your post Jean. Thank God the power of our prayers is not in our eloquence!

It’s encouraging because I assumed people would report praying much less than this! But it’s an area I know I still have room to improve in.

As prayer is an integral part of my daily life, from concentrated time with God to those “arrow” prayers when someone or something comes to mind, I can’t imagine someone NOT praying every day. Like you, though, I’m not as comfortable praying aloud, especially in front of others, although the years of helping to lead contemporary service really helped me get over some of those fears. Still, not my preferred way to pray.
Blessings!
