      Pocket Prayers for Dads - Max Lucado

      The Pocket Prayer

      Hello, my name is Max. I’m a recovering prayer wimp. I doze off when I pray. My thoughts zig, then zag, then zig again. Distractions swarm like gnats on a summer night. If attention deficit disorder applies to prayer, I am afflicted. When I pray, I think of a thousand things I need to do. I forget the one thing I set out to do: pray.

      Some people excel in prayer. They inhale heaven and exhale God. They are the SEAL Team Six of intercession. They would rather pray than sleep. Why is it that I sleep when I pray? They belong to the PGA: Prayer Giants Association. I am a card-carrying member of the PWA: Prayer Wimps Anonymous.

      Can you relate? It’s not that we don’t pray at all. We all pray some.

      On tearstained pillows we pray.

      In grand liturgies we pray.

      At the sight of geese in flight, we pray.

      Quoting ancient devotions, we pray.

      We pray to stay sober, centered, or solvent. We pray when the lump is deemed malignant. When the money runs out before the month does. When the unborn baby hasn’t kicked in a while. We all pray . . . some.

      But wouldn’t we all like to pray . . .

      More?

      Better?

      Deeper?

      Stronger?

      With more fire, faith, or fervency?

      Yet we have kids to feed, bills to pay, deadlines to meet. The calendar pounces on our good intentions like a tiger on a rabbit. We want to pray, but when?

      We want to pray, but why? We might as well admit it. Prayer is odd, peculiar. Speaking into space. Lifting words into the sky. We can’t even get the cable company to answer us, yet God will? The doctor is too busy, but God isn’t? We have our doubts about prayer.

      And we have our checkered history with prayer: unmet expectations, unanswered requests. We can barely genuflect for the scar tissue on our knees. God, to some, is the ultimate heartbreaker. Why keep tossing the coins of our longings into a silent pool? He jilted me once . . . but not twice.

      Oh, the peculiar puzzle of prayer.

      We aren’t the first to struggle. The sign-up sheet for Prayer 101 contains some familiar names: the apostles John, James, Andrew, and Peter. When one of Jesus’ disciples requested, Lord, teach us to pray (Luke 11:1 NIV), none of the others objected. No one walked away saying, Hey, I have prayer figured out. The first followers of Jesus needed prayer guidance.

      The first followers of Jesus needed prayer guidance.

      In fact, the only
