Hi All,
I have been thinking about this one quite a bit and I have come to the conclusion that I don't feel like I know how to pray. As a former Catholic, I used to just say the standard prayers (e.g. Lord's prayer, Hail Mary, etc.) I found this to be a bit routine and it was hard to keep focus.
To put it succinctly, how are we supposed to pray?
Also, I have to admit that a lot of times I wonder about prayer. How am I supposed to believe that my prayers will actually change "God's will"? It almost seems like either a futile exercise or overstepping my place as the creation in that who am I to ask for anything.
Thanks for the insight
