I Am Too Busy
I Feel Too Dry Spiritually To PrayI Feel No Need To Pray
I Am Too Bitter To Pray
I Am Too Ashamed To Pray
I Am Content With Mediocrity

Excerpt from A Call to Spiritual Reformation: Priorities from Paul and His Prayers by D.A. Carson
God doesn't demand hectic church programs and frenetic schedules; he only wants his people to know him more intimately, says D. A. Carson. The apostle Paul found that spiritual closeness in his own fellowship with the Father. A Call to Spiritual Reformation investigates the Epistles to see what lessons Paul taught in his "school of prayer." Christians today can still achieve the confidence Paul enjoyed by following his life-shaping principles and searching for a deeper devotional experience.
Author Information: D. A. Carson is Research Professor of New Testament at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Deerfield, Illinois. He is the author of How Long, O Lord? Teach Us to Pray and Right with God.
