Our struggle to pray is very real. My difficulty is that I have been distracted or derailed from the mindset of the Narrow Way. As I’m reading your excellent book, I’ve reflected in my journal:

“One of the most difficult beatitudes is purity of heart. I wander all across my platform of legalism. I condemn myself for not measuring up to a pure heart then judge others as nit measuring up to my expectations. All these words seem while, I’m hiding behind the walls of my own kingdom efforts earthed searching for His kingdom. Purity of heart is a single minded focus of what our Triune God is pursuing - our hearts fully devoted to Him. He is jealous for our lives, yet I’m often willing to settle for something that is mediocre and half hearted.”
