Distant From God: Why The Struggle To Pray Is Real

By Daniel Ploof

Do you struggle with prayer? Many of us do to one degree or another. Praying is a common weakness in the church today. We assume everyone knows how to pray, but nothing could be further from the truth. Most people feel uncomfortable and use excuses such as: "I don't know how to pray," "I'm too tired to pray," "My prayers are too immature," or "Prayer won't help my situation." Sadly, many of us walk away from prayer rather than drawing near to the Lord. We are unable to experience its full power because our insecurities, anxieties, and self-doubt hold us back. The silent magnitude of our struggle begs the question, "Is prayer really that important, or am I fine without it?"

"Distant From God: Why The Struggle To Pray Is Real" is a 40-day devotional designed to address the importance of prayer, why we struggle to pray, and how we can build a deeper relationship with Jesus. Using examples from the author's life, each chapter unpacks twenty popular lies the enemy tempts us to believe while also providing answers from Scripture to refocus our attention on the Holy Spirit. Whether you are someone who doubts the power of prayer, or someone who is looking to deepen your spiritual life, this book will challenge and encourage you to lift your heart to God and grow in your understanding of prayer.
