I was wondering if there are any others here who struggle with prayer...
I'm not a good speaker in public or even in groups of people, I am much better talking on a one to one basis - maybe two but more than that and I begin to feel uneasy. I'm much better expressing myself this way - writing/typing. I can say exactly what I want to say, go back and delete what doesn't look right and add a smiley for expression. I wonder if this is the reason I don't pray well, I find it difficult to find the right words, I find myself correcting things or re-saying things and sometimes I don't feel I have been understood. Sometimes I don't think I'm formal enough and sometimes it seems too formal and rigid. It's easier to write a prayer - like here but even then I don't think I'm good at prayer and my prayers seem repetitive. Also is written prayer actually received by God?
Does anyone else feel this way or is it just me?
