People are often reluctant to talk about difficulties with prayer. Perhaps it is like marital relations: it is a private matter between lovers. Prayer is the communication of a relationship between God and his people. Encouraging each other in that relationship and helping each other to develop our relationship with God is a joy and a privilege.

This book offers, in six sessions, reflections for those who are having a hard time praying. The resource material at the end of each session is written to help individuals and groups to consider the difficulties encountered and to find new ways to overcome them.

Hard Time Praying? may also be useful for Christians who have recently undertaken a faith nurture course and who find themselves with new questions about prayer.
