Why Is This Thing Called Prayer So Hard To Do?

2 Chronicles 7:14 (NLT) — (14) Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land.

Philippians 4:6–7 (NLT) — (6) Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.

Genesis 5:21–24 (NLT) — (21) When Enoch was 65 years old, he became the father of Methuselah. (22) After the birth of Methuselah, Enoch lived in close fellowship with God for another 300 years, and he had other sons and daughters. (23) Enoch lived 365 years, (24) walking in close fellowship with God. Then one day he disappeared, because God took him.
