Forgive the personal plug, but these words from my book, The Potential and Power of Prayer, really do reflect my heart–and my personal struggle. Maybe it’s your struggle as well:
“Prayerful dependence on God—both for churches and individuals—is not our default setting. Individually and corporately, we may start out leaning on God, but then retreat into self-dependence and only perfunctory prayer. We may mask our prayerlessness with busyness for God, but unless we halt it early, spiritual decline sets in.”
