Prayer - Where is your confidence? -

Every week I hope to post something that will help us to grow in our understanding and practice of prayer.

Before we begin I want to make two introductory points,

(1) I am not writing these words as an expert. I simply want to pass on what I am learning from others.

(2) I am not wanting to make you feel spiritually inadequate or increase your guilt. Is there another area of life where Christians feel more guilty?

I am convinced that much of our guilt stems from our confidence about prayer being in the wrong place.

Derek Prime reminds us where our assurance about prayer should lie,

'Our confidence in prayer is not in our understanding of it, or our methods of discipline in it, but in God's character and revelation of himself in our Lord Jesus Christ.'
