Desiring Prayer

Several people in my class wrote how they struggled with even having the desire to pray. I read those cards this morning, and then asked my class how they would respond with grace and in humility. The image here shows most of their responses, and I thought they had a real beauty to them. As the discussion continued, one man summarized the discussion well with the thoughts in the square in the image. He was hearing how God constantly allows us to lose control in life, which then causes us to surrender in the futility, and then we pray. All we have to do to realize our desire to pray is to simply pay attention to the brokenness in life.
