Lord, teach me to pray again

Lord, teach me to pray again.

A simple request that comes straight from my heart.



Lord, teach me to pray again.

Lord, you know how I used to call out to you with great ease.

Lord, you know that I once had a thriving private prayer life.

Lord, you know that we once were in great unity through prayer.

Lord, you know that I feel distant from you now.



Lord, teach me to pray again.

Lord, you know that I call out to you every Sunday morning in front of more than a hundred people.

Lord, you know that I receive compliments on my public prayers.

Lord, you know that people make assumptions about my private prayer life.

Lord, you know that I struggle.



Lord, teach me to pray again.

Lord, I want to know you intimately.

Lord, I want to sit in your presence unhindered.

Lord, I want to be united with you in prayer.

Lord, I want to know you fully.



Lord, teach me to pray again.

A simple request that comes straight from my heart.



Amen. Let it be.
