What if the problem isn’t that you’re bad at prayer?
You sit down. You close your eyes. “Dear Heavenly Father—” And then the words dry up. Your mind drifts. You say Amen feeling no closer to God than when you started. Defeated. Maybe a little guilty.
If that’s familiar, you’re not alone in it.
Many sincere Christians carry a quiet conclusion they’ve never said out loud:
I can’t pray. I’m just not good at this.
It doesn’t start with laziness. It starts with trying — and having it fall flat. Enough times, and the trying stops. Prayer becomes something you mean to get back to, someday.
