Great to hear from you. Praying is one of those things, I’m sure, where you simply never feel you have done enough of it! Thee has to be an underlying attitude of dependence, too – a sense that we simply cannot do this without God’s help. That attitude can keep us “tuned” for preaching even when busy-ness robs us of prayer time.

When I get stuck… then more prayer… and when it’s all prepared then guess what! Yes, even more prayer. Richard it is so good to hear you so often refer to what we hear on our knees and all too often I find myself swept away in the busyness of the day, and the full time work and forget to pray. That’s why sometime’s I just make a quick escape out of the office and down to the prayer room near our chaplaincy. I wish I could go there more often! Perhaps I should make a point of going there once a day, instead of working through lunch everyday! Often I feel frustrated at work as I can’t see the point of it and feel I’m just marking time. It seems to soak up the time I’d rather be spending reading, getting evangelism and mission projects off the ground and doing my assignments (that remind’s me I need to get my preaching module assignments written!), perhaps I should be praying for patience!
