How to Keep Praying When it’s Hard (St. Catherine of Siena)

Prayer can get difficult. It's hard to maintain attention. Sometimes our prayer feels "dry". We don't know what to say. We don't feel God's presence. 

The reality is, this is what it looks like to practice prayer and grow deeper and deeper in a relationship with Jesus. You don't become a mystical prayer warrior overnight. And neither did St. Catherine of Siena. 

She reveals to us that, when we become discouraged in prayer, it is often the devil's influence. He hates prayer, and he will use every difficulty and insecurity he can against God's children in order to hamper their prayer lives. 

Today, Dr. Edward Sri offers a simple truth that will guard your prayer against the lies of the evil one. 


Looking to dive deeper into a prayerful relationship with God? Dr. Edward Sri guides us through the foundational principles of prayer in his new study, When You Pray: A Clear Path to a Deeper Relationship with God. Watch a free preview here: https://tinyurl.com/yczj5y7u
